Reuters exclusively reports UK delivery prices jump ahead of Brexit cliff edge

Reuters reported exclusively that British businesses were rushing to stockpile goods just five weeks before post-Brexit customs checks come into force on Jan. 1, driving up the cost of cross-border deliveries and cutting capacity. The frantic activity reflects rising concerns that Britain’s final departure from the world’s biggest trading bloc will bring chaos at its frontiers as companies struggle to navigate a full customs border for the first time since 1993.
