When you add it up better off having a week in the carribean or getting on the waiting list of a quality syndicate (assuming you are under 40).

particles etc are brilliant, but if every man and his dog are using them on a lake, it wont last.
True, Joss, but dont forget that imported seeds are likely to need grinding or they will require a Phytosanitary cert.

Why? We're a tiny fraction of their tourist business.

Officialy far less than it should be at least half of it is not declared one way or another I would say.

I would be interested to know how much money is spent by visiting carp anglers in France each year.
Petrol\diesel, tolls, snacks and food, cigarettes and booze, lake hire, boat hire, boilies pellet particle and food packages. Then on the way home presents for wife and kids, wine cigs and beer.

yep - this is just the tip of the nasty iceberg
very messy - when the Army have to fill out customs declarations forms to transport their equipment to NI (yes that NI that is part of the UK) then you know we're up that famous creek....
my tip is to go old school. that lovely French bread is perfect for carp fishing and it'll be dirt cheap when you get there...

It's the same for all industries now we've left the EU, we have to abide by their rules. An engine block cast in Germany, sent to JLR in Birmingham, built and tested then sent to the JLR factory in Slovenia then the Range Rover is bought by someone in London. Same issues, we chose to make it this way and predicted it

So restrictive practice then if the produce is made in the EU and suitable for use there it should not make any difference that it has left the Franco German empire and is now returning 😉

Sorry, I was referring to the bigger picture - more about the established brands like Sticky etc. continuing to supply EU markets. I know Korda distribute the Mainline range through their Euro HQ in Limburg, NL. I was told that CC Moore used to have their baits rolled in Holland as it was more cost-effective initially than buying their own kit. I think the bait companies will work out whether it’s a) worth exporting with the additional admin b) making bait for sale in the EU using their own op or an EU rolling co. or c) sacking it altogether like John Lewis did.
‘Never knowingly underrolled’ 🤣

Like I’ve said before if you leave some cheap
Bait /maize and maybe some air dried boilies you’ve had for years 1kg in a prominent position and get stopped they might confiscate that and thing they’ve got a result 👍
Plenty of other places in vehicles to hide your bait in

Think the only way to be safe is going to be to wait to see what happens. TBH, I CBA with ton's of paperwork to take 20kg boilies across on the tunnel, I would suspect most venues will respond to the problem with their own supplies of branded baits IF it becomes a continuing issue, either that or face confiscation of what you try and sneak in, but you can bet that the French authorities will make an example out of people until no body takes any over.
Post issue edit: I might however stuff a few tubs of decent pop ups in hard to find locations as I'd fancy my chances with that lol.

100% yes. After April, you’ll also need those documents for the bait to get into the U.K. in the first place, but a different set (you can’t use the same docs in both directions).

That seems to be the case..... It's so complicated I can't be 100% sure!

So hypothetically. If you were to order 20kg of boilies from baitology in Holland and had them delivered to UK, would you need paperwork to take them back to EU ?

Fair point.... but we're talking about bait for trips here, not general exporting. Which would done by individual order and every single order need the required forms and vetinary certificates. From my understanding, the paperwork is complicated and expensive it will increase the cost of bait so much it makes it cost prohibitive.
These difficulties aren't teething problems either-they are permanent.
It's either pray French Customs don't enforce or buy baits at the lake or from European suppliers, I fear.
