@thequentinletts You're not smuggling 2 tonnes of beef in your backpack, are you? Moving goods across is quite different.

This map shows all of the customs posts in Switzerland.

Click on some of them and you'll see the words:

"No merchandise customs clearance"
@thequentinletts Many of the smaller border crossings do not allow commercial goods vehicles to cross.

pwebapps.ezv.admin.ch/apps/dst/dst/p…
@thequentinletts On other crossings goods can only come through at certain times and there are car/lorry parks where goods vehicles are held until they complete processing.

@thequentinletts The regulations on goods entering into Switzerland are quite clear. Goods must be presented to a Swiss customs office to be cleared if they are not for transit.

This is going to be part of a presentation I'm giving soon.

This is Fruitlandia.

They heavily protect their apple growers. They love bananas, like cherries, don't care much for dates and have a near monopoly on elderberries.

What's the average tariff?

Poll in next tweet
Happy for people to give their reasoning.
Ok. Good feedback!

So now the Fruilandian bureaucrats feel that they're not getting enough granular data about import statistics, so they decide to update their tariffs schedule by carving out some fruits from "Other", but still at the 10% rate.

What now? Poll in next tweet.

In the 1906 General Election (and period before/after) one of the main bones of contention was Free Trade vs Imperial Preference (Tariff Reform). I've found some nice posters from the time that illustrate the debate. I'm planning to use some of these in my upcoming #Lewes talk.
The Tories & coalition partners the Liberal Unionists were pro-Tariff Reform (in the main) but they lost 1906 General Election to the Liberals who were pro-Free Trade. However, the issue didn't go away. This poster is from 1909.

Radical=Liberals
Arthur Balfour thought there was a sure way to resolve the issue once and for all.

Can you guess?

Yes, a referendum! A "People's Veto".

No.

I was taught that at school, but it' not correct. It's a myth. The UK was Europe's biggest recipient of Marshall Plan money.

See this article by Cambridge historian Corelli Barnett.

Thread on #customs transit. Why it isn’t a #Brexit silver bullet and why proposals for NI border relying solely on transit would make it one of the most restrictive borders out there (even if we managed to get to no infrastructure). Might get long /1
Transit is an existing customs procedure. Allows to move customs formalities away from the border and only scan a barcode when passing the border. In some cases transit can start or end at company’s own premises. (Bit more on it here) /2

Common transit will be available after Brexit. UK will have access to NCTS system which is available to all parties of the Common Transit Convention /3

I've got a list of pedophiles and their advocates on twitter. About 120 as of now. There are more coming. Let them know they aren't welcome, because if you let their community grow, more people will go down that path. Never let evil take root.

#Spooks. The CIA is famous for them. But this #Halloween, we’re sharing a different kind of #spooky story. Like everyone else, Agency officers love a good #ghost story. Here are some of our favorites we collected from them. #CIASpookyStories #Boo

But was someone there? bit.ly/SpookyCIA1

“Occasionally, the elevator would stop and the doors would open at a floor with no one there, and no one on the elevator had requested that floor…”

1)A #brexit thread on 'frictionless' trade:

@bbcsoutheast decided to see how easy/difficult it would be to export an item from #Switzerland 🇨🇭(outside the EU) to the UK🇬🇧(inside the EU) to get an idea of what British businesses might have to do after #Brexit.
2) It’s obviously not an exact analogy. Switzerland is in the #singlemarket for many goods and in #Schengen, for example. But it’s outside the customs union, so the idea was to get a sense of what friction might need to be tackled.
3/ The item we decided to buy was this (it's a car exhaust):
