    Well I did live in the South-East between 1984 and 2017 so I may picked up some bad habits and gone a bit soft.

    So you clearly didn't even watch it all.

    I guess that means that YOU don't have much of a point. Just a needy entitled bitter loser's whine.

This makes it easier for businesses importing and exporting as they only need to fill in one standard form for each shipment, irrespective of destination. This paperwork is not needed for shipments within the EU of EU produced products.
    Currently, around 50% of UK trade in goods is with the EU. That is done without the need to fill in a C88 per shipment.

    The good news is that for unregulated goods, the C88 is all you need.
    When you have regulated goods (e.g. medical, but also anything that has a standard involved in, whether that is safety. manufacturing, etc), then the relevant paperwork needs to be supplied per item to prove it meets the regulatory standard as well as the C88. The good thing with those is that you don't have to get permission on each consignment, just for each item.
    We've discussed standards on here a few times before. You might want to read some of those old threads.

    But I guess we would never trade directly with any country in the EU on different terms than any other country in the EU - I assume that's how it is supposed to work anyway?

    But either way the point is the amount of 'paperwork' required to get the job done does not really seem to change.

    The report is clearly London based as the first two items highlighted with threatened supply were lettuce and tomatoes.
