Say Remainers. This isn't how it's supposed to be.  No doubt we'll have posts with conspiracy theories about genetically modified ketchup very soon, being produced in the UK for nasty conglomerates? Glad to see it.

Depends entirely on the furniture, how it was made, and where it's to be used.  Still requires extra paperwork and a customs declaration.

I'm just reminding you that you now need it, as a consequence of Brexit  Quote You continue to do what you do best and complain about a democrat choice your own people made.. You can't polish a turd.  Quote and I will do what I do best and make the best out of a new opportunity and continue to make a honest living.

I know you don't like being constantly reminded of the stupidity of it, but your grasp of the consequences is at best, non-existant  1 minute ago, West 77 said: You clearly are clueless about my business or any business in the real World. Oh dear, there goes Lockdoctor again!  You have no business of any note.  1 minute ago, West 77 said: Brexit and Covid-19 have given me an opportunity to make more profit. I'm happy to increase costs because by increasing costs and more investment I will make more profit. The costs as a result of Brexit add no benefit, you make less profit for the same effort.  1 minute ago, West 77 said: Both Brexit and Covid-19 have given me the incentive to do something I should have seriously thought about doing long before the UK left the EU.
