Wouldn't mind a few affordable lobsters and langoustines to be available in this country boys . Only ever find them in Lon-don or ' South Kensington on Sea'. lets go back to poormans lunch chez Dickens . It is ridiculous that most of the good seafood goes to Europe. I would likewise like to get some of it, you can't even get it in Scotland where it is being caught (unless you are really lucky).

I haven't posted for a while. Normally we process 20-40 goods movements a month to and from EU destinations. So far we have not solved the problems with the paperwork to make any movements at all. My hair has gone white with the strain. Have you not been driving a lorry around Whitehall? At last, evidence that this is not just me who can't make the system work. This wine import er is describing exactly the problem, we can't make the CHIEF import clearing system work. It just sends error codes because some mysterious combination of fields need to be filled in. If you change the field you think the problem is, a deluge of new error messages arrives. If frustration was a substance, it would be oozing from under my fingernails now. www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/18/a-multiple-pile-up-in-the-fog-wine-agents-fury-at-brexit-red-tape#_=_Thing is, there are 4000+ error codes, and the explanations usually don't make sense or give enough information. And HMRC are hiding behind an email address where they offer to reply in 5 days. www.gov.uk/government/collections/chief-error-codesAll our operations are suspended. I thought we had done everything to be ready, but we can't be ready for the HMRC computer not to be fit for purpose.

Meanwhile, the press that would otherwise be highlighting these serious issues in a more prominent way are not, because of any mix of: 1) The pandemic taking precedence. 2) US politics taking precedence. 3) Fear of Government reprisal of public service broadcasters. 4) Brexit fatigue. 5) Some people really still liking Brexit, so newspapers prefer to call this issue 'teething' or 'remoaning'. 6) It not involving really sexy pictures of huge lorry queues, that can't quite be replaced by people looking really angry at a computer.

Day 7
.....
Error Code
E02656 : Commodity requires Third Quantity
Explanation:- Complete Box 44 (Add'l info) 3Q= [ ] as the Commodity Code requires it to
be completed. To do this DCOM and look at com code and on 1st page it
should be under Declaration Unit of Quantity
er... next step, google it. DCOM is Disney Channel Original Movies. I don't think it's that....anyone?

DCOM is part of Microsoft's underlying data exchange system ie it let different databases etc talk to each other
Very much out of vogue / Date these days ie I cant remember having to use DCOM since about 2010, but nothing would shock me its probably all on an excel 95 spreadsheet

Ebay is asking me for what Unit i sell items in so i use 1, the next field says pair, dozen, gramme, 100 Gramme, 1 KG etc no option for each

A light in the darkness! Thank you - you're on to something. What an unlikely forum actually to find some help! OK, so Already filled in "Statistical Quantity" = x litres. Next section, "Third Quantity" = (A number) and (Pair, Dozen, Quart, carats etc). I'll try some guessed pairings and see what happens yet. But thanks for your intervention mosaic. I'll report back.

I'll report back. is it perhaps because hidden away in the deep recesses of the software it will only work if you use imperial weights and measures, and complete any monetary based fields using a base 12 system ?

Well I put in an amount and units that may vaguely be qualities of the product, submitted for the 13th time, and got back the error
E02253 - Declarant must be declared with this DAN prefix Box 48 (DAN1) requires a prefix character of either 'B', 'C' or 'D'. 'D' is when
the agent is also the importer, the importers TURN will be in Box 8 (Cnsge)
and Box 14 (Declt No) will be blank
To be fair, this looks like one of the easier ones to puzzle out. But it will just lead to another error code next time. I have become fatalistic now. I think we missed the boat with this import in all senses. I was thinking of starting afresh with one of the other waiting shipments, but generally the orders we handle are for small quantities of many items, needing an hour or two of input into this system just for the basic descriptions of each product.

Spit out an error code... and then offer no further useful information of any sort. 🙄 Computers, eh... you gotta love 'em! As a retired IT techie, I can tell you the first 40 years is the worst... 😁

Another article totally lacking in perspective.
- Many agents who are completing T1s have run out of guarantee funds - but how many are many? big difference between 1% and 99%
- EU hauliers and transport companies are turning their backs on UK - again if not quantified it is meaningless
Makes a great headline for a Conservative bashing rag, but overall doesn't mean a lot.
