I can't see an obvious solution to this.

Brexit paperwork threatens Scotland’s luxury seafood business
Last week’s long-awaited Brexit deal spared UK seafood exporters from potentially crippling tariffs on shipments to the EU, but on the banks of Scotland’s scenic Loch Fyne, Jamie McMillan is hardly celebrating.
From Friday, new paperwork required because of Brexit threatens to throw a wrench into the finely tuned export logistics system that Mr McMillan, managing director of Lochfyne Langoustines, relies on to get his live langoustines and brown crabs to high-paying customers across Europe.
The need for export health certificates costing up to £95 for every consignment and the potential for border delays threatens the survival of the family business that employs 22 people around the Argyll village of Tarbert, Mr McMillan said.
“There’s been a deal, but it doesn’t matter . . . We are still going to be faced with health certificate costs, increased paperwork costs and possible delays at the border,” he said.
“I don’t know if I will be in business by the 14 January . . . we are on the brink.”
