"Brexit Shock" - Garden shop owner troubled, feels sorry for EU suppliers.

What I meant was that nurseries in the Netherlands have the clout to force the costs on him.

If global warming is for real we can grow our own tulips. (Tulip, it won't let me post tulips...)

Shame that we can't trust each other to produce disease free plants and accept each others' certificates. There can't really be that much difference between UK plant regulation and EU. I mean, it's not as though they're chlorinated.

I think that is the root of the issue.

Some suppliers have told the nursery it could need plant inspectors on site every day to produce the quantity of certificates that would be required for cross-channel trade under the new “independent UK” regulatory system. Each certificate will cost £180 to the supplier, enough to wipe out the small margins on sales.

In addition to the health certificates, suppliers will be subject to health inspections at ports and inland border control posts, which are being set up under Michael Gove’s border operation model.

Suppliers will also have to supply export declarations to EU authorities for the first time, coupled with customs documentation on arrival in the UK for the first time.

YOU the garden centers will be paying the tariffs you dick.
