[QUOTE="matthew, post: 7358962, member: 169"] Paperwork etc. can be tightened up. Tariffs have been zapped with red top headlines.. But the big problem is with fresh sanitory and phytosanitory products. (SPS) - that animal / plant stuff to you and me. As a 'third country' trading into the castle of the Single Market, the drawbridge has been raised and inspections must take place of SPS products entering. That takes time, staff, vets and extra haulage time, as these inspections are diverted to Border Inspection Ports. And we have very few. The main problem with fish and particularly the high value Scottish crayfish, is that it is shipped live. And by the time all the above has been box ticked and more importantly, inspected, it's either stale or dead. Ship it frozen and it's half the money. For the same reasons. That's why membership of the EEA / EFTA was so important as a stepping stone into the single Market. [/QUOTE]
