a risky endeavor, i close on the next on d w. the what matters to us me. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d w. 6, you can just write a temporary post brackson border controls. make exporting british products to the you more difficult. yeah. there have been heavy losses, especially, and fresh goods. narrative edwards from wales voted to leave the you. now. she struggled with new customs regulation. that was my pre back

paperwork with my paperwork. one mistake filling out a form means her shellfish could be held up at customs and parish in the truck. she's already lost thousands of pounds this way. i worry about getting it wrong. my testament because it makes him late law than human sales. i hope that people don't have my my bias. i in the western part of wales near the cove maris edwards family business. simon

fish is busy, especially on the weekend the every sunday she and her sons, by shell pace, from local fishermen and export them to mainland europe, mostly shrimp at the moment. the goods are worth about $50000.00 euro, but since the breakfast regulations took effect, she can no longer be certain they'll arrive fresh office merits now has to label every crate of shellfish for custom. these tickets now have come in since they have the invoice number on it. the customers invoice number on the dates. it was called to the call. i'm also the kilos to each fisherman that comes in now have such a ticket. so now has got about 80 kilos. these are 2 boxes,

so 40 tickets just for the rent is quite own or you can have them preprinted because they change every week. so you have to do it on the day, which means the boys are actually working a lot harder to conflict with them. water tanks in the truck, keep the shrimp fresh until the next day. narrative sounds later, reload the shellfish onto a spanish truck at the port. a smooth journey to the u as a central for the family and the fisherman. i think we're just going to go florida . we keep thinking like he can't see, they're going to give up eaten kelvin voted for the tradition. insane deposited in the u. k. u k. but like i was saying, get stronger and stronger at the moment. i think the quality thing narrative father taught her how to handle the live shellfish in the case where king they don't like

it, which is why we try to work quite quickly. and we can't stop. can they get lost in the time more than 2 days without without paying rule 2 and a half days maximum and then move polity. just to wrap up, then we get stuck to the board to control for too long. like we did that 1st thing after breakfast stops and selling his stuff because she filled out the forms by hand. that trip took 50 hours instead of the usual $24.00 resulting in a sizable loss. she doesn't want to see a repeat of that fiasco. so her daughter is helping to digitize all the data merits . now employees her full time due to all the extra work i know, 9377, look at some in her family were in favor of breck said, others were against it. she was nearest voted to leave the you to my chair,

lodging cripple, 1.3366.6. yeah, i think i was a little naive. i knew we'd have some changes. i didn't expect quite a new the paperwork would change. i didn't realize quite how drastically significantly that would be and i still believe that long term it's a good thing. me, rex. it is also putting the german logistics sector under pressure. exports from the e. u to the u. k. now take much longer once a week, colon francis drives from north ryan westphalia to the u. k. and back again. his employer specializes in transports to england. collin, a native britain likes his job. he was stationed nearby as a soldier for

a long time. he chose to stay in germany to raise his 4 children and retrain as a truck driver. but recently he's had to put up with a lot of hassle. knock nath claremore checks and everything takes longer than that sites on. but if i get, i'm lucky, i might wait 3 days just for the paperwork and talk. sometimes it's ready straight away much. sometimes it takes a few hours. if i'm lucky, it can take 3 days, but i target the last time he hopes to be back from the u. k. in 3 days, he has plans when he gets home, like into a hole and i want to take up my children and do something fun with him back cooking baking, the 150 drivers in the company face the same problems as colon. many feel stressed out, it's difficult to make plans or have family time more morning or the papers for my

next tramp on the the next at all. managing partner horse caught my eye is frustrated with a new trade agreement. a round trip from germany to the u. k and back now takes at least one day longer. unfair blanking on, but we don't have enough vehicles for the same amount of freight. now a truck is gone for a full day or if something goes wrong, one few days longer, i toggling the moment one trucks been stuck in france for 2 days because the paperwork wasn't correct wrong. then none of our planning we're planning on off the biggest headaches are with imports from the u. k. there's not enough staff to prepare the necessary paperwork. that's why the company no longer accepts orders where there's bound to be chaos, the customer, everything changed when the u. k officially left the u on january 31st 2020 on the

computer england, our whole england department over their bachelor's customs ever since fully fast. you know, as i be the end of the who will gone script, it's been tons of extra work for our team since the end of the breakfast transition period. there's new customs clara here to go. so every day it takes about 2 hours, longer per person who put on the face based on the letter. and all of these extra costs are just for the additional bureaucracy to the company. the company must now charge 10 to 20 percent more per transport order. so that their business days profitable. collin francis has a 2000 kilometer journey ahead of him through the euro tunnel, the northern england and back. yet sometimes you to go a little bit longer when you're just your own. you. you might end up talking to

yourself. that's not too bad about when you're on yourself when you can even ask yourself the question is the problem the colon voted for the u. k. to remain in the you some of the rules with bricks it seem a bit strange, a bit weird. i'm don't know whether it's necessary or unnecessary book is what it is. unfortunately, the journey to the u. k is smooth color must 1st deliver 6 new car bodies to a manufacturer in northern england here in london in the bustling district of kentish town. as our vendor vick has found, the place he calls home half british half dutch heads are never wants to move away from the u. k. even if he's frustrated by the government, he voted to remain in the e. u. 2 years ago,

he founded an online business selling knitwear made of new zealand wool with his brand sheep ink. ed's ard wants to revolutionize the fashion industry, making clothing that is not only c o 2 neutral, but c o 2 negative. but the brakes, it agreement is a huge hindrance, especially because a 3rd of his customers live in the u. we need to make the business work tight margins, which we historically been able to do. and then suddenly you're faced with these extra costs of breaks it and you, your whole business model is thrown slightly and chaos at that point. you know? and that became again very hard for us to stomach as a business. and that's why we're having to really take a hard look at how we should do with europe and how we deal with exports into europe as well. he's frustrated that although the government promised smooth trade with the you, the exact opposite has happened. he and his business partner now feel as though

they constantly must fix a system that pre breaks it was broken. and when michael, i think it was interesting, if we're thinking back now over the year when we would prompt so often email an over letters that we were getting through the door to be prepared. if you remember, we spoke to multiple techs advisors, experts in the fields and they said, i'm really sorry guys, but we cannot help you because we have to work for multiple talk information on 1300 pages and we still through and it's not very clear so come back and generate and i think that was what was so frustrating about this whole process was you know, you running the operational side of the business that you wanting to be prepared and wanting to have a plan of action is simply not knowing what that plan of action could be what

irritates ads are, besides the unforeseen extra costs is the amount of time wasted on breakfast issue . at heathrow, airport heads are rents out space for his clothing brand in a new energy efficient warehouse. he's not the only entrepreneur who is dedicated to being carbon neutral. he sends 1000 clothing items from here to the e u every month. but nobody knows how business will go on with mainland europe. in the initial period, after breakfast when life, we saw customers receiving bills about 80 pounds of import duties, which of course we are, garments around $160.00 pounds, almost 50 percent, the value of the government on top of it because of the import usage current and what we're doing is we now have a bit of a better setup, but still it is actually increased our margins considerably. it's not about 20 pounds, additional cost per order to send stuff into europe. which once again,

when you are selling items at the cost we price, we are, it is not simply something that we can stomach for long the back in wales at the fish guard harbor. nearest edward comes here once a week and 70 and there's a lot to get done and quickly the truck carrying live good to her customer in spain is due to set off in 2 hours. in that time she has to reload the shellfish from her own truck. good morning, chris, one and she also has to handle her fisherman's catch, including sorting all the information she needs for custom. about 300 fishermen live in the surrounding villages. the e u is the largest trading partner for the wealth coastal region near it

has been doing business with a new british customer, a celebrity chef since january. after reading about her truck getting stuck at custom, he started buying a 100 kilograms of lobsters from her every week. she hopes to accumulate more domestic customers. but it's also important to the fisherman to continue selling their catch in mainland europe. without narrative, personal commitment, many here would be in by most of the fishermen voted to leave the you and the brakes referendum. they're pleased with the result provided that they gain control over their fishing waters and can decide how to catch their fish. one point, hey, lovelace the me, once all the shellfish are registered nearest takes care of the paperwork. before the start of the year, she simply gave the driver a hand written note. now she has to set up her own office in the harbor each time

a day after leaving germany colon francis as steering his jumbo truck through narrow british street. he's already delivered the car body. now he's picking up 50 mattresses to bring back to germany. time for a short break plan, his initial peer as soon as possible. so all the paperwork from this side of life and then head towards employee so i can get my customers paperwork. hopefully that all goes quite quickly. the customs requirements are too much of a hassle for the small mattress company, so they've hired a collins employer to deal with the formalities on their behalf. i didn't get if i was here. that's it. i holland is happy with that. it's less

likely something will go wrong if his employer handles all the customs paperwork. his next stop will be right before the channel tunnel. if everything keeps running smoothly, he'll see his daughter by lunch time tomorrow dial jody. 2 hello darling, how you doing? happy. that's all good. i'm coming home. i've got a few of the things you like from england, or? yes, you'll mint chocolate, gram frazzled. chocolate. yes you are. and then big go and i shall see you tomorrow or sunday. okay, darling, i lost my job. bye bye. while crocodile? truth, you, darlene. bye bye. it's kind of

a weird subject really. i'm not exactly a 100 percent. sure on how it's going to go now that we've left. whether it's going to work out better for you or worse is still to be seeing just one of those things where everyone's going to adoption. hopefully everything works in london and across the country. many x borders are forced to rethink their business strategies. exports to the e. u fell 40 percent in january 2021, an unprecedented drop of ash and brand founder ads. our vendor vague and his warehouse logistics partner are considering moving parts of their business to mainland europe, $1.00 and $5.00 small companies has already done that or plan to do so. ads are says that would be preferable in the long run to paying an additional 5 percent on

top of every order which is kind of what's crazy. the moment that the us is easier for us to send to you and it is to your actually, you know, we've, we've had free trade with us for loss, for over 50 years. service what we've all generation. that's what we're used to. yeah. sorry. it does seem crazy, it's. ready much easier for us to send stuff to america and it does to next door and fonts. carney cheap is wrong, much as a hall. this gets political, is that it was a power play, essentially one poach johnson, and the lights of power or de requirements to consolidate the conservative fractions that will bring at the time. and as is where we'll paying for unfortunately, just as something as stupid as the future is uncertain. for both of them. innovation and jobs are at stake to use

back in wales at the fish guard harbor show was yesterday said john, i would say mike, you philip? since yesterday shook today, chris, today the faster nearest edwards finishes her paperwork. the faster she can send the truck load of fresh shellfish off to spain. her son is her expert. so far he solved every technical glitch. her daughter is at home in the office, waiting for the documents. i worry about getting it wrong with my customer because it makes him late. some mock hit him lose his sales. i seen that i hate letting people down. i hate letting my fishman down. i hate lifting my buyer down. i mean, even that 1st week the lord didn't go through,

i told them i paid my boys anyway because they needed. they do already have months of no fishing. so it was really, really important that i paid them for every export. narrow must now hire and pay an employee from the port health authority. hello. hi, dave, how are you? how's it looking? very good. thank you very much. how did you get on with this tickets rough night? sort of a couple of, i was, i got most of them done smashing. i'm just going to check the figures, tracking the laurie. and then i'll be right before you when you get there, i'll just go and get some gloves and a little quick look. thank you very much. the veteran area and checks the cargo and issues health certificate for the live shellfish coming up. oh, okay. yeah. well good. good, good. good, go off by doing the i think which one is this,

this is back so that he checks that the shellfish are listed, help and have everything necessary for a day or 2 of transport as specified in the new regulations for importing goods to the you don't okay, so there's not enough for the veteran area and has not run into any problems with near us before. the check is especially important for the recipients. should any liability issues arise? good. we have already thrown more more problems coming on. i need a c. m on no other look in the lower eda. everything's all right. the ration. alright. numbers. okay. perfect. each paper cost money helps certificates cost about $80.00 pounds. and a consignment note is around 90 pounds kilos. kilos,

kilos here. the english right english ones. next. then the spanish consignment note list is just no, you know, it's a stupid era, but that stupid there couldn't stop here at the ferry port, not the end of the room. yet in the meantime, her sons reload the shelf onto the truck, headed to spain. they prepared a total of $2.00 tons of shellfish. for this export, the veterinarian checks and signed every certificate noise. he too, could make a mistake until both understand the requirement is that the signatures are in a different color. well, any color from black. it's just that i fancy read, i suppose,

i don't know. i see read on a daily basis, you know, never is now pays $500.00 pounds for the paper work per export it up. that's it. look like i need to get my need to scan it off and then coming all, send it places right? narrow pays the extra costs out of pocket. she says now is not the time for profit . right? good luck. thank you very much. take care lose . this is the cap certificate, has every so exactly what they belong to. the landing ticket numbers, the wait. if it come inside, hopefully, with what we have on the laurie, you can't just send it, you have to sign. this is one of the areas that i made on the 1st week. i'm so excited that i got it to work. i faxed it straight to maris knows

another ex porter who already gave up his business due to all the hassle. i know some of the boys now have opened companies and found some spain so they just export the hello to themselves on split it when they get that. and her daughter, now things thing to a customs agent, to be checked over that costs narrow money to get this off. so i'm not over running on time. i get all my paperwork together that i dropped on the floor. the truck has to be insane. within 24 hours. but then comes a hiccup. yeah. i mean, yeah. the

hi chris, how are you doing? good disaster. no, hans is the last page within the printer. i don't know if i'm not gonna have to if i email it in color, sorry, put let's get to give them to dr. bench. while to use holland francis has reached the critical custom's checkpoint. the euro tunnel is only half an hour's drive away. he can only drive for another 2 hours today before he has to take his mandatory break. if things move quickly, he could still catch the train and folks then that will take him through the euro

tunnel. but the problem is were busy. yeah. how long will it take ages, pages? yes, a long time. more than 12 hours. more than 2 hours. your best bet is to come back tomorrow. everything else apart from just now was all right. obviously trophy can take time to load, has obviously pushed it back to this happening now. but before breakfast, i would have been at the train already. i would have already been on the train or talk to folks and ready to go over 1st thing in the morning and get home. but all this kind of paperwork is unfortunate. he made it a little bit overweight in time, and now i'm now i need to find someone to park. have a break. come back again in the morning and see what happens. the

companies and customers have to bear the additional transport cars. colon also has to pay a price as he won't see his family until a day later than planned. nearest edwards meanwhile, is relieved that her truck made it through. an employee in portsmouth was able to print out the missing paper up, but still she has to shoulder the additional costs for the export business herself and deal with all the red tape. how baby go back to afford it all. she has to sacrifice her other source of income, her cows. she's planning to sell them one by one. if it hadn't happened, i wouldn't be selling the car was i'd, i'd be running the tune. business is like a, have been for 7 years in tandem. because effects it's,

i'm selling the cows now to support the shellfish business and we'll give that the best shot we can. nevertheless, maris stands by her decision to vote to leave the e u. i still think, even though we're out at the club, we still work closely with our european neighbors and i think that's really, really important. we always work to get to him. i can't see why that has to stop. just because we're out. i really, you know, the whole world needs to work together whether you're in or you're out and that's how i feel. but one in, for small british businesses has stopped exporting to the you, the extra costs abraxas have been immense for industry wholesalers and consumers. and they'll remain a challenge going forward. the
