I can go to the fucking factory and do that!.......

Actually I dont think you can, in most countries you need to be on an approved buyer list ( government/tax office etc approved)and have an account set up with the factory n credit checks etc etc etc, its part of all this EU bollocks to stop criminals just going to the factory, buying a container load n then shipping it into a country without paying tax.
a mate of mine looked into it a few years ago as he was gonna solely import foreign fags that arent sold in this country n seel em to ppl from the relevant countries from which they came (polish fags in polish shops, indian fags in indian shops etc) and he came across so many legal n logistical barriers it simply wasnt worth the effort, reckoned he would have had to spend over £200k in legal fees just getting the relevant background checks n permits etc
