Can anyone explain why, once they had arrived at Tilbury ( City airport ?) for customs clearance, they then have to either go to Belgium or customs clearance has to be inititated in Belgium ?

These things are better travelled than we are at the moment !

Should have bought "made in UK" ones. https://www.safety-label.co.uk/products/blind-spot-angles-morts-coach-bus-sticker?currency=GBP&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlJKyndW48wIVwrHtCh2EpQIoEAQYASABEgJ2T_D_BwE&variant=39264980074539

Magnetic ones in this link? Some stick on metal strip for the back.

But beware of the 135 euro fine if caught without.

Here is a link to the locations specified for the stickers,

To be honest, I don’t think a bit of slippage will be an issue as many of us have positioning issues such as yours. I am just finishing 3 weeks in France in my 3850kg wagon complete with stickers and UK sign.
My biggest concern, rather like yours, is that we now advertise our weight. Not been an issue on toll motorways, although I have a transceiver on the screen and associated account. However speed cameras seem more prevalent than I recall and I have been flashed twice. I do think (hope) they were for vehicles overtaking me at the time, but we now again advertise that our permitted max speed is lower on motorways, and so many main roads remain at 80 kph, so it is easy to stray over although my Tom Tom beeps at 4kph over the limit which is useful. With regard to weight restrictions on roads and villages, I have simply continued to transit as required. Bear in mind that if the red circle has a truck in profile, you are probably ok, it is the one with 3.5 tonnes printed in the centre that must be obeyed.
We get on the ferry for home tomorrow and I shall remove the stickers to reduce the potential for paint fade being different where the stickers are currently placed. I also ensured that mine were only on flat surfaces and not overlaying decals to avoid damage on removal.

Edit, I did have to move one, due to overlaying a decal, but it peeled easily and smoothly, so no issues or residue.
