Though Johnson promised no non-tariff barriers', firms say they are struggling under compliance burden' of customs and safety checks

Almost two-thirds of British exporters have said selling to the EU has become harder in the past year, according to the British Chambers of Commerce, which is calling on the government to do more to smooth trade frictions post-Brexit.
