[Matthew Britton]

Does anyone know if tractor exports are still happening? If so how complicated is it?

I hope its simpler than trying to get a machine from the mainland into northern Ireland which is still part of the uk last time i checked

Tractors now have to be immaculately clean so absolutely no dirt , muck or organic matter any where or it’s a fail. I had a small repair done yesterday and the owner said it’s a pain as rather than blowing over a export to Ireland or where ever on a trade in its best part of a weeks clean down for a old part ex. Didn’t sound like paperwork was a problem but more cleanliness

As said above machines have to be free of soil and seeds.The machine is inspected and if it passes you will receive a certificate to allow it to be exported. My daughter has just spent 3 days with others to get a forager passed to go to Ireland. Absolute nightmare trying to get all specs of soil off.

 

[Bald Rick]

As above too.

Remember that the certificate is only valid for 14 days and is only free to N Ireland. To an EU state there is a fee.
Inspections done by Animal & Plant Health Dept

EU sour grapes I guess as we are brave/stupid enough to leave them

 

[Exfarmer]

They are just enforcing the rules that have been in place for years for third country imports. The fact our customs never used to give a toss was our fault. Countries like NZ and Australia are far hotter!

 

[Sid]

Same rules as any other country outside the EU.

Didn't they tell those voting leave that if they wanted to paddle their own canoe they would have to clean it ?

Not sour grapes. These are the rules for export from a third country into the EU. Leaving the single market and customs union has meant more inspection and more rules to follow. It's similar to exporting a tractor to Australia or America. The rules are about preventing diseases etc that can come from the seeds or soil. That's the reasoning even though it is a backward step.

Soil should never be imported into any country, over the last 40 years we have managed to import so many mdiseases from across the world thanks to our , note , our not EU or any other body but our sloppy customs enforcement

Not quite the same as that carried on plant roots , or the average detritus in a tractor cab

 

[grainboy]

But by all accounts Plant etc doesn’t need to be cleaned, unless I’m wrong,
Different dirt I suppose !!

Does it pay with the transport + legalising? Or is it something you already own?
