On the subject in the title: UK access routes, dated and sourced Working notes rather than a conclusion.
Regional question, dated March 2026, because everything in this category expires.
The position differs between the jurisdictions people usually treat as one, and the differences are not marginal. I have set out what I can verify for my own region from primary sources rather than summaries.
If you can confirm or contradict this for yours, please date the answer.
Correcting an out-of-date claim in this subcategory with a source and a date is more valuable than a new topic on the same question.
A weak preference rather than a position.
Where the compound is supplied with a device, the device and the compound have separate availability positions and the device is more often the constraint.
I am aware this is the third time this month I have made this point.
Cross-border arrangements: some people source from other EU countries. Rules on import for personal use are changing post-Brexit. Current status requires checking with UKVI.
I would want to see it done twice before believing it once.
