French customs reject British shellfish shipments after UK ‘reset’ deal with EU

One of the largest mussel exporters in Britain lose 150,000 after three lorries were prevented from entering the EU

One of Britain's largest mussel exporters has suffered a 150,000 loss, after three of its shipments to the EU were rejected in recent weeks by French customs.

Family-run business Offshore Shellfish, based in Devon, has continued exporting blue mussels to its European customers since Brexit, despite the administrative burden and onerous paperwork requirements.
