Rules of origin are a big deal. After Brexit every item we export to the EU, must be accompanied by paperwork proving where the items were made, in the case of a car for example, this must cover each component. It is complicated but vital, export goods which arrive without the proper documents won't cross the border.
But we are months away from Brexit and it seems only now is the government consulting on this.
The incompetance is breathtaking.
