That's going to be pushing up costs as well (although again - if the process into NI gets sorted that should reduce).
Understood. I think we all expected a bumpy start. As John says give it Time.

Tel, even if in the rules and it is the same the world over, a sandwich for personal consumption is not really in the spirit of importing meat and dairy products. I remember arriving in Russia from Kazakhstan and the customs bloke asked me if I had any "dead animals" with me. Another challenge used to be smuggling pork products past customs when arriving in Doha from the UAE.
