As you likely know, Brexit import checks start in earnest on Tuesday... but at facilities which are (mostly) inland; in the case of Dover 22 miles inland....
Now, of course most shippers can be trusted to drive those 22 miles for a check, and then either 'enter' the UK or drive 22 miles back with their refused shipment....
Hmmmm.... so that 44 miles of driving when, for the less scrupulous, a little bit of clandestine unloading could take place... this is a system built to be circumvented!
