Following the fairly scary experience of the Cheshire Cheese Company reported today, that they have had to close their online business to consumer sales to the EU, because *every cheese order* requires a certificate costing £180, does anyone know the position for honey and wax products? I have searched the EU, DEFRA and BBKA web sites to no avail. The last list of EU approved exempt countries does NOT include the UK and was updated in 2018.
Do we have to / would it advisable to, close online sales of honey and wax products to customers in the EU?
Cheshire Cheese Co. was informed by DEFRA that no exemptions could be expected in the near future, so it's not a question of temporarily stopping.
I stress that this is business to consumer web sales. Not bulk exporting to an EU based distributor.
Finally PLEASE DON'T START A BREXIT BUNFIGHT! I realise this is an emotive topic but I'm simply searching for information right now.
