The first invoices for the new Common User Charge for importing meat and plant products through Dover have started to land.
While most businesses should be aware of how much they’ll be charged, some will be in for a shock because the previous government mislead them about what the charges could amount to. BMPA’s Trade Policy Advisor explains the costly charges (particularly for smaller companies who bring in large numbers of small consignments) and how we ended up with such an expensive border system.
