The German confectionery industry reported a significant drop in year-to-date exports to the UK due to new document requirements and longer delivery times.  Nearly 10% of German confectionery products go to Great Britain making it the second most important export market for the German confectionery industry.  Newly negotiated country of origin rules create complexity for duty-free delivery, and complicated new customs formalities present logistical challenges. Other challenges include shortage of delivery drivers and health entry restrictions into the UK.  Some German confectionery producers are temporarily ceasing supply of their products to the UK until some of the customs issues are addressed.
