Hello Woofers!
Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
What a fun day we have had!
Old Two Legs has customers all over the world and in the past, we have had no problems, but that was before Brexit!
OTL has been trying to get all set up for dealing with the EU come Jan 1st.
The old zero % VAT is remaining the same, for now but like exporting all over the world, you have to fill in a Customs Declaration saying what is in the box.
EU now want to know what is in the box but instead of something like, '200 Widgets' we now have fill in a box that gives a Detailed Description of Contents, OK 200 Widgets.
The next box says What is the HS Tariff Number?
Wot?
So, investigating the GOV.UK website we go looking for a HS number for Widgets.
They have goods listed from Tampons to Tubers but no sign of a Widget. In the end OTL found a link that claims to be able to give you a HS number, just send an email and they will answer in six or seven days!
OTL says he has the head ache he always gets when dealing with GOV.UK!
Holly and I don't really care, his feet are nice and warm and Holly and I share guard duties by cuddling up to them!
Going out for a walk it was remarkably cold, there was even some frost on the grass on the old golf course.
Lunchtime it was still cold but the sun had come out and left some strange looking cloud formations!
This is High Tide with little wind and a strange looking sky, maybe it's just an Autumnal Weather!
While we were having a run on the beach a ship went past towing a big barge!
Holly sat down and tried to work out what the barge was carrying but gave up after a while, well you can only get so many kebab's in a barge!
Now, take a look at this tree that we have walked past for a few years. Can you see a branch growing through another branch?
We don't reckon it is natural, we reckon some Two Legs drilled a hole in one branch and poked an adjacent branch through the hole.
After a few years the two branches seem to have grown together.
I wonder how many TL's have ever noticed that before?
See you tomorrow.
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
