What an absolutely ludicrous story that isJust saw this, a Dutch Customs Officials removing a driver's ham sandwiches.
Remember this was the "easiest of deals".

I'm sure that's a great relief to someone who has suddenly incurred costs through no fault of his own.Handling costs will be from the courier you used. Use a different courier.
With most couriers you can opt to pay the vat on behalf of the customer and you can then claim it back on your vat return. You can also pay the duty for the customer but can't claim that back.
Why?What an absolutely ludicrous story that is
Truck drivers getting their sandwiches confiscatedWhy?
To be fair that can’t have anything to do with brexitYeah we got a letter from Parcel Force this morning, someone has sent us something from Switzerland (we don't know what or who, as we have loads of mates who live there, so it could be from one of about 30 people) and they want us to pay £31.25 in import fees and handling charges to even find what it is.
It could be worth a quid for all we know, until we open it.
It can - the EU deals with Switzerland no longer apply to the UK.To be fair that can’t have anything to do with brexit
Oh I don’t know what Switzerland’s deal with them eu was sorryIt can - the EU deals with Switzerland no longer apply to the UK.
This is a new one. We’ve had denying the impacts of Brexit, ignoring the impacts of Brexit, saying “it’s not that bad” and no openly laughing at the consequences of Brexit. What is wrong with you?Truck drivers getting their sandwiches confiscated
It used to be called scaremongering ST. The rules are- "no animal products allowed into the EU from outside the EU." Many Brexiteers thought this was funny and labelled it "Project Fear". The UK has the same rules but whether they are applied or not is a different story.This is a new one. We’ve had denying the impacts of Brexit, ignoring the impacts of Brexit, saying “it’s not that bad” and no openly laughing at the consequences of Brexit. What is wrong with you?
But while you are here Coops do you not feel inclined to get involved.
Funny how on a Brexit thread someone asked where the remainers were and the reaction was “oh its like this is it expected to be on and answering at the beck and call of the brexiteers” but i should be immediately on here to answer someone moaning about charges selling things to the EU
Yeah ok
But while you are here Coops do you not feel inclined to get involved.
What next? “Border officers stole my dinner money”This is a new one. We’ve had denying the impacts of Brexit, ignoring the impacts of Brexit, saying “it’s not that bad” and no openly laughing at the consequences of Brexit. What is wrong with you?
They’re “ADMIN” charges!I'd be interested to know what these "handling charges" are - that's what I'm paying the poxy courier company to do - handle it

I voted Brexit. I don’t agree with where I believe EU is heading, which is an EU superstate, as I have previously discussed many times (I am not xenophobic but I think it unworkable for a number of reasons) and I stand by that. However, I also believed we would have a Parliament ‘big enough’ to put aside party politics and that would set aside differences in the ‘greater good’ to assemble the best possible team not only from Parliament but experts in the relevant fields (law, business and business negotiations etc) to negotiate an orderly and mutually beneficial withdrawal agreement with the EU, to enable both the UK and EU to grow side by side but independent of each other. The more time has passed, and the more squabbling, self interest, corruption and incompetence I see, the more I can’t help but feel let down and that I have been (I have allowed myself to be) duped / deceived. I am disappointed in myself.
I can only apologise.
FWIW, I voted labour at the last 2 elections and lib-dem prior to that.
