    Advice is not law!. " Should " is not the same as "must " . On this topic we are actually in agreement , I am basically giving the case for the defence. As I said, he can claim that he was urgently looking after his wife and child, ..which is one of the exemptions

The UK Revenue will supp!y NI companies with special transit documents, which will fast track anything originating in NI and going into mainland UK.
