Is the date full customs checks will be applied to all EU imports into UK.....everything from daffodils to dolls, car parts to caravan accessories.....even motorhomes.

 

So it will have been a full year since UK left the EU.....and this is what business people have experienced and said;

 

"Frustrating. Scary. Huge drop in sales. Rendered uncompetitive in Europe."

 

"I found it astounding that they are telling us to get used to it," said Adrian Hanrahan, of Robinson's chemicals, who is dealing with a new set of UK regulations entirely duplicating EU requirements.

 

A manufacturer of cutting edge green radiators says the expansion of his factory in Birmingham will now take place in Poland.

 

There is more...much more; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59761292

 

 

One year on, most voters say Brexit has gone badly

 

More than six out of 10 voters believe Brexit has either gone badly or worse than they expected – a year after the UK left the EU, according to an anniversary poll for the Observer.

 

26% of Leave supporters said it had gone worse than they expected, while 16% of those who voted for Brexit said they had expected it to go badly and had been proved right.

 

Among people who voted Remain, 86% said it had gone badly or worse than they expected. Overall, just 14% of all voters said Brexit had gone better than expected.

 

Adam Drummond, of Opinium, said the most striking finding was that Leavers were now more hesitant about the virtues of Brexit than previously.

Just a Year of Brexit Has Thumped U.K.’s Economy and Businesses

 

In the months after Boris Johnson signed his post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union, the coronavirus masked the economic damage of leaving the bloc. As the pandemic drags on, the cost is becoming clearer -- and voters are noticing.

 

Brexit has been a drag on growth. It brought new red tape on commerce between Britain and its largest and closest market, and removed a large pool of EU labor from the country on which many businesses had come to rely. The combination has exacerbated supply chain shortages, stoked inflation, and hampered trade.

 

The prime minister hailed the signing of the trade accord almost a year ago as the moment when Britain took back control of its destiny. If it was, voters appear to be increasingly unhappy with the result. According to a November poll by Savanta Comres, a majority of the British population would now vote to re-join the the EU -- including one in ten who voted to leave in the 2016 referendum. In June, only 49% wanted to reverse Brexit.

Those who have managed to keep the supermarket shelves stocked have done a wonderful job.

Especially since they have had no help whatsoever from the instigators of Brexit like Johnson.

Respect for the French too - because they could have made things so much worse.

They could put whatever obstacles they like in the way of our imports and exports.

They could have banned British Truck Drivers along with British Tourists and the British Home Secretary.

.... maybe they will if we stop paying them to control our border 8-)

I suspect border control will be unable to cope with the amount of checks and end up waving the majority through. The fun begins officially on Saturday so we'll eventually see how it's affecting the flow of goods.

I Dont think it will be as simple as that because of all the paperwork and other work that has to be done before you even get to the border. Nobody will chance winging it I dont think

 

This guy knows a bit about getting goods in and out of Europe. Interesting string

Yes I subscribe to Ciaran. He's the guy BBC used to help do a news piece on importing into UK post Brexit. If you haven't seen it, it's worth watching......and for balance they take along a Brexit voter from Dover. It's impossible to ignore hard facts when they are there, right in front of you staring you in the face.

Pelmetman - are these the WTO rules you said they could use?

 

This is what its like trying to export from Brexit Blighty

a £180 health certificate on each order, including gift packs costing £25

 

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/dec/27/brexit-the-biggest-disaster-that-any-government-has-ever-negotiated

 

“We no longer have any ability to deal with the EU as our three distributors in Germany, France and Italy have said we have become too expensive because of the new checks and paperwork.

 

“And now we’ve also lost Norway since the trade deal, as duty for wholesale is 273%. Then we tried Canada but what the government didn’t tell us is that duty of 244% is applied on any consignment over $20 [£15].”

 

That meant Canadian customers who ordered a gift pack worth £50, including transport fees, were asked to pay £178 extra in duty when the courier arrived at their door, Spurrell said. “As you can imagine, customers were saying: ‘You can take that back, we don’t want it anymore’.”

 

Norwegian duty on a £30 cheese pack amounted to £190 extra, ...."

He's been busy making a fool of himself on another thread attempting to lump the Covid mortality figure of the EU as a "country" to try minimising our horrendous figure of 171,801 so he's hoping to duck out of addressing your question.

 

Strange how no Brexiteers have an answer to this.

What the UK and hauliers can expect from long-delayed Brexit controls

 

EU exporters of cheese, car parts and other goods are facing a mountain of red tape to continue sales to Britain after 1 January once thrice-delayed post-Brexit checks and controls are finally implemented.

 

As if our export trade isn't already damaged enough with many businesses giving up altogether, importing is going to be just as difficult.....and very very costly.

 

Whose idea was it to inflict such a catastrophic act of massive self damage, and for what reason? :-S
