Post-Brexit red tape proves a tangle for UK jewellery exhibitors

From zealous customs officials to hallmarking rules, shows are becoming a hurdle too far for some British makers

But 'global markets'...!! 😉

This concept of “Post Brexit red tape” is infantile. Red tape is an idiom referring to regulations or conformity to formal rules or standards which are *claimed* to be excessive, rigid or redundant, or to bureaucracy claimed to hinder or prevent action or decision-making. Pre Brexit - no issues

But we knew what we were voting for. Christ almighty.
