Imagine being a driver or a company transporting goods from the EU to the U.K. and being held solely responsible for the goods on board..and responsible for any duties or vat on those goods . Would you risk carrying them ? I wouldn’t .. brexit 01/01/22 it’s coming #Brexit 
Imagine being an EU haulier with 40 pallets of mixed consignments .. a few incorrect declarations and that’s it your stuffed . Your liable for any monies due . Goods and vehicle don’t leave .
Imagine if your carrying a high value consignment for a customer you haven’t worked for before .. and it’s been incorrectly declared . Bang - your liable . But you haven’t played any part in the customs process . How on earth should you know the correct value . It’s bonkers
For anyone who was wondering what it’s about .... it’s the GVMS and the liability of the driver in regards to anything imported .
@mrjamesob this is pretty massive - not only do full controls come in jan 2022 - drivers are to be held personally liable for any monies owing on goods . This is an email from a leading agent in dover
