Brexit: eksport av små sjokoladebiter med alkohol regnes som eksport av alkohol. 

Her er noen eksempel å de restriksjonene britiske eksportører nå møter når de skal eksportere noe til det som har vært deres største marked.

When Britain left the EU there were reports of delays in getting perishable goods into Europe. We can reveal the EU border crisis is more severe – and is costing the economy vast amounts.

• The cost of shipping a pallet of cheese to the EU has more than tripled from £75 to £240 due to extra red tape for exporters and price hikes by couriers;
• Sample ‘taster’ boxes of alcohol for potential European customers are being returned by couriers with no explanation;
• Entire pallets of perishable food are going off on trucks turned away at the French border;
• Chocolate containing tiny amounts of whisky is being rejected by EU border staff, who classify it as ‘alcohol’ and ask for different paperwork;
• European buyers are turning to French whisky suppliers due to the extra costs and delays in receiving goods from the UK;
• EU border forces are rejecting pallets if just a single digit is wrong on the packaging code.
