Baitworks
Hi Michael,
Unfortunately as it stands with new rules as of Brexit, we are unable to ship out to the E.U.
We re not sure if or when we will be able to send overs back out to the E.U.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Many thanks.

What they really mean is in all the years since the referendum they never bothered their arses looking into what they would have to do from 1st Jan this year, just like many other companies.

In fairness, nobody knew what the deal would look like until days before the UK left. The bait manufacturers that spent the time ensuring everything was up to EU spec (baitworks may be one) are also unable to export currently and as far as I'm aware no company currently knows how feasible exporting intonthe EU is going to be. This isn't just affecting bait either, loads of companies are unable to export into the EU currently.

... and in the meantime their EU based customers are looking for and finding alternative suppliers, unfortunately.

Tad unfair..... The deal wasn't agreed until the 24th, so exactly how were they- or any other business- supposed to prepare?
I listened to a cheese maker on the radio yesterday who had prepared and can't export to EU countries. He needs a health certificate for every truckle, which is very expensive.
If the Scottish Fishing Industry are struggling, I can understand why boilie makers are.
Also heard that as part of the deal Johnson could have agreed to common food standards but chose not to legislate for that when it was ratified in parliament......

They can export, problem is it just costs a lot, as every single shipment will be checked if it is in line with paperwork they claim they have, so very gruel process... and to be honest nobody knows anything about brexit even now. Deal that was "made" still have to be verified in parliaments of every single eu country (could be wrong about that) for it to be valid. Lets be honest bait companies have been hiding behind all sorts of business to avoid certain paperwork for a long time I guess now it is time when (legally) that will affect their ability to sell abroad. And as it was said here for many times already I dont believe uk anglers will have many problems coming in eu with bait once this corona **** is over it will be bigger problem for eu anglers to get/order/buy uk baits direct or via eu retail... luckily there are alternatives.

I've seen somewhere a bait company saying that an export certificate isn't yet available that applies to them so they aren't able to export at all. I still believe export in large batches could be economically feasible, but the days of sending over small amounts cwrtainly seem to be over.

To be fair the export problem is only if they supply a lake or shops . The main problem we are discussing is that we as individuals can't load our cars up , only effect their sales to us that take it with us . As iv posted below you can buy bait over there , just may not be the stuff we use over here .
Be interesting to hear what French / Germans / Dutch use .

We were fishing a public in the Loire region and got chatting (well kind of) with a french guy when he went and got his boilies 👀👀👀👀Jesus! They were green and had white circles with a red bullseye on them. Hard to describe really but me and my mate had to hold back from wetting ourselves (we can be immature at times but then we are men) the guy then out fished us all week 🤷♂️

The supermarkets used to do boilies of all colors and including stripes, spots, etc. Things have moved on since those days and as in the UK if you by cheap the quality will reflect that. There are now some good baits rolled over here and also in Holland. Our Dutch regulars bring very good bait with them and another lake owner who I am friends with has stocked a Dutch bait, Signal for some years and not only is it decent quality but certainly catches well. One thing you will find is that UK baits such as Mainline and Nash are premium prices in the tackle shops here even before the Brexit issues. Your friendly lake owner will be best best for either supplying or finding decent baits, he won't want crap going in his lake.

Yes , on the link I posted if you scroll down you get to a better quality , if a higher price reflects that , choice . I have a couple of friends where I can get something like Eddie Sterckx baits delivered , let's not forget thousand of French anglers chip off at the weekends , so if rules are rules we will change to their baits , it ain't a deal breaker surely.

I have to disagree with my Dad here on the Dutch bait front... most, but not all of what I've seen Dutch lads bring over the years has been terrible. But we have very few Dutch anglers these days so it may well have changed in recent years.
