I've always wondered about all the paperwork. Is the extra paperwork required by the EU or the UK? Is it paperwork already used by importers/exporters in world-wide shipments? Presumably all non-EU countries will have to fill out the same forms as the UK will.

My wife used to work for a UK firm that exported to the likes of the USA, China and Brazil, admittedly not in food production. Their paperwork was slightly more complicated than exporting to the EU, but quite manageable. Again, presumably the EU will have to fill out similar forms for their exports to the USA.
