That supermarket article you are talking about specifically talks about a "British" goods supermarket abroad, which is to be expected, frankly. Regular supermarkets are fine?
I believe NI's problems are specifically UK based, general goods supermarkets, which are the most common, having issues stocking shelves (Sainsbury's had to get items from SPAR, because SPAR are EU based and thus have the infrastructure/customs stuff sorted out).
- hef19898 6y agoI talked to a company running a pan-EU FBA business. And they don't have any ustoms issues with Brexit. The way they solved it was to consolidate shipments to fixed dates /days, instead of peacemeal as was done before. And, more importantly, they work with a specialized customs agent and wait for customs clearance before sending the shipment. That increases inventory in transit and lead times, but being stuck at the border for an unpredictable amount of time does that as well. Not to mention the costs for having the trucks waiting there, usually somewhere between 150 and 250/300 Euros per day. I mean, it's not that companies didn't know what happens and prepare upfront.
