        Yeah I did actually read it, he said export was 30 to 40% of his business and sending it all over the eu was a lot of paperwork. What he should have done is found a distributor one set of paperwork to get his product into the distribution warehouse then they handle the rest and deliver all over the eu to his existing clients for a fee. That was the only part he didn’t wanna do the rest of the shit you listed affects all other industry in the UK it’s not special to this guy or to beer. You raise your prices to cover costs.
