As of November 3, 2026, the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) reported that businesses are still struggling with Brexit-related red tape and are calling for changes. The BCC, which represents thousands of firms across Britain, found in a survey of around 1,500 companies that over one-third need customs paperwork and delays removed to grow, increasing to 58% among manufacturers and 56% among exporters. Additionally, the survey revealed that 42% of exporters identified tariffs, quotas, or rules of origin as barriers to growth in the EU. A separate S&P Global survey indicated manufacturing firms are facing longer delivery times due to rerouted shipping, port congestion, and transport route disruptions caused by global conflict.
