What are the views on this?

Clearly, it is common with airlines and even smaller jet operations, but with piston GA one is often (not always) taken indoors as a default position and then one is presented to Customs.

Recently I had a case where even the landing was refused (in Europe, but not UK) at an airfield which needs PPR for Customs, even though they knew it was only a fuel stop.

Was this your 1st stop in that particular territory? If yes then it was your POI (point of Entry) so inbound clearance required. PPR is prudent at all times, if not just to check fuel availability etc.
