.. anything being sent to the EU requires customs declarations forms to be attached. These are either CN22 or CN23 forms, depending on the value of the items. People sending from Northern Ireland do not need these forms. 🙄
People still don't get any of it

But everybody knew what they were voting for 🥴
From a friend "A lot of people both in UK & EU will be in shock over the ensuing parcel mess that will happen this Xmas. But did you note that they were "Sent to the place where one day she may retire"
Oh dear, I'm afraid that ship has sailed, another shock yet to come her way"

Did Priti Patel's & Sajid Javid's parents claim asylum in the 1st countries they travelled through or countries closest to their countries of origin?
Or did they migrate to UK as their preferred choice?
Either way they made applications that were accepted on criteria required
Why so wrong to give all the same rights as you, Patel & Javid, to apply
(where you are only an "illegal" migrant if you don't apply)?

I find it amazing that so many (MPs) still do not understand you need all three
(single market/customs union/CTA)
for a wholly open border.
Nor that they still can't discern the differences between the three.
1/ customs union allows free circulation of commercial value goods within member countries with common external tariffs/duties to non cu members.
(no customs declarations/RoO compliance proof/temp export carnets needed at borders between members)
"customs" basically TAX/DUTIES
2/ single market allows free movement of goods/services/finance/people under common legal oversight to work outside their country of tax residence within member countries
(no proof of compliance with standards/SPS needed at borders between members)
"market" basically STANDARDS

From a Freight Forwarding friend "For the last 10 days we have had a trailer stuck in Germany because the parts no longer comply. So far we have racked up €6500 charges. We now have to bring it back to the UK.
My company has now set up a stand alone customs broker for 1/1.
I strongly suspect that it could ultimately be that the hauliers will be liable. Let's face it we charge ridiculous fees for entries and rarely do the entry clerks have time or knowledge to check the document.
The trickle of clients relocating to the EU is becoming a torrent.
Last week I met a client who says they need to build a new factory they are looking at Czech. Not UK.
It's beyond me how we let these ffing idiots run the country.
I may have told you but I had a meeting with Digby Jones.

People still not understanding why TCA brexit when fully implemented GB side will cause greater supply chain break down/shortages,..
Let's just take the personnel issue.
Imagine a shipping/freight forwarding/parcel/courier office. ...1/
Pre Brexit: Ten people with long experience in customs & compliance formalities looking after the non EU traffic.
For the remaining half of the traffic for EU just two people were employed with absolutely no experience in customs & compliance formalities...as none was needed. 2/
Now the EU traffic needs the same "ten people with long experience"
Do you move some of your experienced staff to the EU freight diminishing your service on the non EU services where competitors are not, while still leaving the EU service short of what is needed? 3/

He added: “It was apparent they had absolutely no idea what CFSP was – so much for it being the ‘gold standard’ vehicle for customs declarations, offered only to ‘trusted’ importers.”
Frightening stuff theloadstar.com/uk-hmrc-strugg…
The bigger problem may be persuading (insufficient in number either way) brokers to become certified, as brokers processing EU imports as indirect clients are also left liable for any tax due, which the custom expert said would mean “few” would be willing to handle the backlog.
You're not fucking kidding !!!
“If we process a declaration, we earn £35, ($47), but it also makes us jointly liable for the tax due,” he explained. “To give an idea of what we’re talking about, we processed a declaration that had some £2,300 in duty owed.

A reminder: an effective border force..customs & (bio security) market standards..deters smugglers. There is none between NI & IE as was agreed to move it back from there to between GB & NI. The remaining EU26 not just IE need their customs & market standards territory protecting
If intending to introduce universal lower standards & tariffs to your bordering market less so an issue.
However non market standards goods can be legally transited across higher standards & customs territories to your market..*Effective* border force controls is the deterrence.
To maintain trade flows the controls needs to match demand. GB has had insufficient capacity to meet new demands for 11 months now. It has prioritised EU inbound "flow over control" owing to EU dependency, but still not enough to prevent strangled (round trip) supply chains.
