Hauliers have warned they are being "overwhelmed" by red tape due to new checks on deliveries to Northern Ireland from Britain following Brexit.
The warning came as Debenhams announced it was suspending online sales to Ireland due to "uncertainty" about the new rules which mean some products are now subject to tariffs.In Scotland, seafood producers said that exporting to the EU had become "very challenging" as a result of the changes. In order to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland, Mr Johnson agreed Northern Ireland would remain in the EU single market - but that has meant checks on goods arriving from Britain.
"We have warned for months about the lack of preparation time for everyone involved and these problems sadly come as little surprise," he said. A spokeswoman said: "We are contacting exporters, their representatives and transporters to help them understand the requirements and we will work closely with them to keep their goods moving."
