Brexit: UK retailers consider burning goods returned from EU due to red tape

THE SNP have criticised the Tries Brexit trade deal after it was revealed UK retailers are considering abandoning or burning goods returned by EU customers due to the cost and trouble of bringing them back into the country. The BBC said many European customers were rejecting goods imported from the UK after being presented with unexpected customs charges when signing for them. The broadcaster cites figures from Statista showing about 30% of items bought online are returned, meaning large volumes of goods are turned around. Retailers are then met with more customs paperwork and charges upon the goods’ arrival back in the UK, with UK Fashion & Textile Association chief Adam Mansell telling the BBC it is “cheaper for retailers to write off the cost of the goods than dealing with it all, either abandoning or potentially burning them”.

Scottish fishers in early battle over post-Brexit quota

Sign Up Scottish fishers are waging a new battle to avoid quota cuts just weeks after a Brexit trade deal that was described by furious industry leaders as “very disappointing”. The overseas owners of a British-registered vessel, the 266ft freezer trawler Kirkella, are understood to have pressed the UK Government to secure a complex agreement with Norway in trilateral fishing talks this week. If successful, it is feared such a deal will directly deprive Scottish vessels of a huge quantity of one stock – and force the industry to pay to lease much-needed quota for another.
