I went to my tiny village post office, to be confronted with a notice board with about a dozen sheets of paper freshly pinned to it regarding " posting to europe".
Whilst waiting for the octogenarian ahead to withdraw her meager pension in 2p pieces, i perused the sheets.
" if your parcel is destined for a county in band 4, where tariff c applies, fill in form 2453a in triplicate (provided proof of origin is included with a b26 and accompanying documentation). If category 2 goods, with an overhead tariff are included, destined for a non zone c2 country, get your brother to put your coat on the lower peg for you, before you get your hair cut"
The lady behind the counter said " dont ask us" ....." we just put what you give us in the bag".
Superb.....i think this is a salutary tale of " be careful what you wish for".
