    Simon Kirk says:

    We have just arrived in Gothenborg (25/05/23) from UK and cannot find anyone remotely interested in registering our boats arrival, because it is a leisure craft, and not commercial or carrying paid passengers. We have been round the hoses with Border Police, Customes, Marine Clearance, to no avail. Struggling to see how we are going to declare our arrival date as a means of validating for Returned Goods Relief on our return.
