Tha trì mìosan gu leth bho thàinig ùine eadar-amail Brexit gu ceann agus bho thòisich riaghailtean malairt ùr eadar an Rìoghachd Aonaichte agus an t-Aonadh ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ch. Do chuid de ghnothachasan tha na seachdainean mu dheireadh air a bhith gu math dùbhlanach. Ged nach deach cìsean tariff a chur an sas, tha cìsean cuspainn agus cosgaisean ùra eile nan uallach mòr do fheadhainn.

Tha às-mhalairtearan èisg is maorach gu sònraichte mì-thoilichte. Tha dragh air Jamie Mac a' Mhaoilein, aig a bheil Lochfyne Langoustines Earranta, mun bhuaidh a bhios aig na cosgaisean ùr air a' chompanaidh aigesan:

"Tha e a' cosg eadar £400 agus £500 san latha dhuinne stuth às-mhalairt dhan EU.

"Am-bliadhna cosgaidh e barrachd na £120,000 dhuinn ann an cìsean maorach a chur dhan EU.

"Chan urrainn dhan ghnothachas agamsa sin a ghiùlain. Chan urrainn dhuinn sin a phàigheadh," thuirt e.

Tha gnothachasan eile nas dòchasaiche. Fhuair a' Highland Soap Company tabhartas de £4,000 bho Rìaghaltas na Rìoghachd Aonaichte airson an cuideachadh barrachd a reic thall thairis mar phàirt dhan ullachadh airson Brexit. Às an sin fhuair iad òrduighean luach £36,000.

Thuirt Emma Parton bhon chompanaidh:

"Tha sinn a' dèanamh nas urrainn dhuinn gluasad air adhart.

"Chan eil mi airson stad a bhith a' malairt leis an EU, ach tha cothroman san t-saoghal mhòr."

It's now over three months since the Brexit transition period came to an end and the new trading rules between the United Kingdom and the European Union began. The past weeks have been very challenging for some businesses. Although tariff free trade was agreed customs and other new charges mean that many are facing increased trading costs.

Seafood exporters, in particular, are unhappy. Jamie McMillan from Lochfyne Langoustines Ltd is worried about the financial impact of the new regulations:

"It's costing us between £400 and £500 a day for us to export to the EU.

"This year it is going to cost us an extra £120,000 in new fees to export to the EU which is simply, for my business, not viable.

"We can’t pay that."

Other businesses are more hopeful. The Highland Soap Company got a £4,000 UK Government grant to help them prepare for Brexit. From that they received £36,000 worth of orders.

Emma Parton from the company said:

"We are doing everything we can to move things forward.

"I in no way want to stop trading with the EU, but the world is our oyster."
