据英国《卫报》4月13日报道，英国政府决定自4月30日起实施新的进口检查政策，一些进口商警告称，这将导致英国部分食品、鲜花和草药供应的短缺。
According to new regulations from the UK government, starting from April 30th, EU products, including most meat, dairy, and plant-based products, will be subject to a maximum import fee of £ 145 per batch when entering the UK via the Port of Dover and the Foxton European Tunnel. The UK government refers to this import fee as "ordinary usage fee", and the funds will be used for the construction of border facilities. According to Allianz Trade, after the new border inspection policy takes effect at the end of this month, British consumers will be forced to spend an additional £ 2 billion a year on French cheese, Italian olive oil, and other food products from the European Union.
根据英国政府的新规定，从4月30日起，包括大多数肉类、乳制品和植物产品在内的欧盟产品，在经多佛港和福克斯通欧洲隧道进入英国时，每批货物将被征收最高145英镑的进口费用。英国政府称这笔进口费用为“普通使用费”，资金将被用于边境设施的建设中。据安联贸易估计，本月底英国新边境检查政策生效后，英国消费者一年将被迫在法国奶酪、意大利橄榄油和其他来自欧盟的食品上额外支出20亿英镑。
This policy was announced earlier this month, and due to the short response time left for merchants, some small retailers in the UK were unable to ensure inventory of sellable goods and even had to announce a suspension of sales. In addition, some EU exporting country suppliers have stated that the UK's trade policy is too complex and may cancel exports of goods to the UK. Meanwhile, recent heavy rainfall and floods have led to poor harvests, and the UK may become more reliant on imports of some agricultural products.
这一政策于本月初公布，由于留给商家的反应时间过短，英国部分小型零售商无法确保可售商品的库存，甚至只得宣布暂停销售。另外，部分欧盟出口国供应商表示，英国贸易政策过于复杂，或将取消对英国的货物出口。与此同时，近期强降雨和洪水导致收成糟糕，英国或将更加依赖部分农产品的进口。
