Remarkable the number of brexiters who are generally saying now that UK is subject to non EU/EEA member/3rd country rules ("diktat bureaucracy"/UK helped create) it is "justification" for leaving...to be subjected to the non member rules.. they detest
The mindset is incredible.

Reporting doesn't help in not pointing out here, Dutch seizing of ham sandwiches is same Brits can expect on entering any EU.. or EFTA country or Oz/USA/Canada ...*or NI* ...or upon returning to GB
(from 1/7 only with regards to EU/EFTA because HMG hasn't provided the capacity)

Which again leads me to the UK official 6 months "border facilitation" flow over compliance smugglers charter.. that UK media so reticent to report on ...at all.
Right now anybody bringing goods into GB does not need to lodge full customs declarations until 1/7 and

does not need to provide any pre-notifications nor food/organic hygiene health certificates until 1/4 and not worry about physical inspections until 1/7. Two effects: You think border formalities & disruption is bad right now with various "grace periods" ?

Already killing off (out of the single market) fresh fish/shellfish exports plus processing & decimating (out of the CU) parcel operators ...
Wait until businesses wind up as stockpiles wind down and enough EU hauliers do not wind up with them despite 8 fold plus price increases

Then those UK export/import businesses that do survive will face another growing peak of orders not reaching destination & chaos around 1/4 and once again much more around 1/7...maybe the haulage & overwhelmed forwarding/customs agency industries will down tools long before this.

The second effect is counterfeiters & dodgy horse/covid bat meat ready meal food suppliers are to experience their continued nirvana until 1/7...not just from across EU, but from across the world, by multimodal customs transiting goods through EU into, flow-over-compliance Dover
