British exporters report stagnating trade as post-Brexit delays blamed

Customs checks and border queues cited as leading barriers, as only 29% of firms say sales increased in Q2

Britain's exporters have seen their overseas trade stagnate over the past year despite strong growth in domestic demand for their products and booming export markets, according to a survey.

The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said that a survey of 2,600 exporters found a quarter had suffered a fall in exports and another 46% reported no change.
