    Prices going up by a third is a benefit of brexit, do you still not see that stupid remainer? It will encourage UK companies to manufacture clothes so that this country can actually look after itself instead of relying on exports for everything.

    Are you worried about something? You keep starting threads n the Brexit forum about trading with the EU? Why does this concern you, the UK has left, you should concern yourself with making Britain great again with all the benefits that this has brought instead of moaning about the little bit of red tape. Perhaps, though, you are getting a little bit squeaky bottom...

    British shoppers today complained about being hit with punishing 'Brexit fees' on purchases from Europe, which could add more than third to the cost of a new outfit.

I think you are confusing the UK with China who can manufacture whatever they want fairly cheaply. And sure, yes, now all manufacturing will simply kick off magically in the UK overnight for everything and you'll have your great sovereign Britain yet again.

    Most low end retail clothes are made in low cost countries such as India & Bangladesh though Boohoo & so on allegedly like to pay low wages in the UK.

    Strangely most high end clothes are also made in low cost countries but sometimes have finishing touches attached in a European country a bit like cars where the seats are fitted in the UK being called made in Britain.

    Where do you think You NIKE, Addidas, Peter storm, Levis etc are made?

    We do make some clothes in the UK I have some Gortex Jackets and wool jumpers marked made in the UK but they aren't from Primark or Burton. But their stuff normally comes from low cost countries direct.

    Clothing

    Why just potatoes we can grow lots of vegetables in our climate. With Hydroponics you can grow most things. Other parts of the world also supply fruit & veg.

    1. UK people ordering from the EU retailers are being asked to pay additional customs fees, handling and VAT because EU retailers are not properly registered with HMRC (that is a UK body). These companies will also have to file the correct paperwork and possibly pay fees to repatriate their goods.

    2. EU people ordering from the UK are being asked to pay vat and handling fees when they buy goods from the UK. On assumes the UK retailers haven't registered with the EU's equivalent of HMRC. These companies will have to file the correct paperwork and fees to repatriate the goods just as you would if you sell to all the other countries.

    This is normal when you don't have a customs union. If you order something from Australia or Mexico exactly the same applies. This is the brexit we voted for. I just thought I would have a laugh at you remoaners and present detail number 1 as a one sided part of the argument, in your usual triumphant style and you get all confused.

    See incompetent EU orgs don't register with HMRC. You cherry picked the argument that supported you just like you normally do.

    'Some EU-based stores have stopped selling to the UK entirely because of the mess.'
    ..
    It is believed that the issues can be ironed out over the next few months as more EU retailers register with HMRC.

    High Street retailers and luxury brands could BURN items ordered in EU rather than bringing them back to Britain to avoid cost and hassle of Brexit red tape - as internet shoppers see prices rise by a THIRD on EU products

    Yes.. exactly - where? Maybe because we don't have them due to imports being too cheap for British grown products to be able to compete?
