How in the hell is HMRC going to enforce this? Beyond confiscating shipments from sellers who refuse to cooperate (in which case they are punishing the consumer just as much), they can't do much, can they?
This will only punish small and honest sellers. Big ones will maneuver around the bureaucracy and the unscrupulous ones will just ignore it.
Sometimes I seriously wonder if people in the government can really be this dense, because this level of stupidity can only be explained as malice.
