Just had to pay £50 in customs duties and vat on something I could only get from Germany before Brexit it was free, so perhaps fuckung Boris, Nigel and the Brexiteers will chip in? Fooking con men.
Customs charges post Brexit are very real.Don't tell the VAT man you've been diddling him all this time
VAT has always been applicable
This isn't VATVAT has always been applicable
Is there?Nazi memorabilia, there's a couple of experts on here.
Well there is a business opportunity for someone to manufacture here what you import from GermanyIt's not particularly vat it was that hefty customs duty which would have been deducted at source, its the same as if you'd imported it from the US. Ridiculous I expect loads of smaller businesses to go broke.
And then those of us over here can pay customs charges. Great.Well there is a business opportunity for someone to manufacture here what you import from Germany

Customs charges would still apply under WTO.It's called trade. Sensible governments make 'deals' with their trading partners that allow you to buy product from sources around the world.
The EU puts up protectionist tariff barriers that hurts developing countries who want to export to the uk. This is why unencumbered free trade is best for all, if not basic WTO rules form a framework within which free and fair trade can take place.
Global Britain yay.The Customs Union only covers the EU as you well know. We are forging new relationships outside the EU but for obvious reasons they are not exactly front page news.

Covid mostly.What obvious reasons are those?
As of the end of 2020, ie before Brexit day, the UK had agreements with 15 nations and trading blocks, about 50 individual countries.With who pray ?
Weren’t a lot of those agreements already existing, but announced as “new” to give the impression of progress having been made?Covid mostly.

Despite Covid and despite the fact that we have not fully left the EU, (some possible trade deals are stalled on that).
Sort of, in that some are simple duplications of the agreements with the EU extended to the UK as a separate country, some are new. That said they still had to be agreed and now put into action.Weren’t a lot of those agreements already existing, but announced as “new” to give the impression of progress having been made?
