If like me your house tends to the damp and not so warm I would slit the peppers on one side before beginning to dry them, I find that really helps them to dry faster. I use either a oven set at 50C with the door cracked open and the fan on overnight seems to do it (around 12 hours) or a proper dehydrator.
We arrived in Belgium in 1991 with hot and cold fill dishwasher and washing machine which the local engineers found very odd when they broke down -always during national holiday periods and/or when we had hordes of guests. Have had cold fill ever since they died and it's been fine because we've either had the option of setting them off at night on the cheap meter or else have had PV panels installed and very cheap, almost free leccy.

Fortunately there were chillies in my last orders from the UK and there's a new Belgian company with some interesting sounding chillies so I have a stash to keep me going.

That I think is the position as at December 2nd, as noted on the post.
That may now have changed, depending on what the arrangements are under the agreement just signed.
Personally I would buy them first to make sure, then look in a few weeks when the dust will have settled.

We'll have to wait and see what is and isn't covered or changed in the new rules. Either way, under the old rules, the last posting date for seeds from UK to NI and EU was December 23rd.

I'm hoping very much that it got sorted as collateral It sounds like it did but without reading the entire text which of course ISN'T final yet it still has to be accepted by everyone.. who knows! I will wait until March or so when I figure out what I have forgotten to order and just ask the companies I want to deal with what the deal is, they should (I hope) know what's going on by then.
@Newboy Calabrese potatoes for lunch today with roast rabbit pieces with garlic. (That is potatoes with the hot peppers I grow and dry in the summer). If you would like the recipe - I will gladly share. From this ......... To this .... It was delicious but the peppers didn't have a lot of bite to them this year. It is pot luck - some can be rocket fuel!!
A balmy 5°C here today - no wind. I hope @Obelixx is all right - weather warnings everywhere except the Med. area.

Do you cut off the stems before you put them to store
Do you crush them or leave them whole.
Thanks.
