It's gets better folks *REF GIBRALTOR* ..
A friend just brought to my attention the Gibraltar technical briefs and hasn't stopped laughing. Basically non animal goods from UK are subject to BCP in France, however animal/plant origin will have to (SPS) clear EU/Gib BIP
and the border between Spain and Gib is not a BIP and never will. So they goods will have to go to....... Wait for it..... The Port of Agetcira!
And then shipped across to Gibraltar.
That's Morrisons fucked!
the tech notice in full gibraltar.gov.gi/uploads/news/S…

The dilemma UK has is that it must prove to EU it can *control* its borders in accordance with present trading (TCA) agreements BEFORE the EU will look to ease trading (eg SPS agreement) into *its* market. UK is failing here & has been since 1/1/21.
It remains too afraid to try
It means finding, employing & at least adequately training the extra personnel needed for its present trading agreement. This includes "50,000" customs agents, approx 5,000 customs officers, 2,000 vets & port health authority officers. Think about those numbers.
All to be housed in expanded infrastructure (offices, sheds, holding areas, bonded warehouses) for devanning & checking.
Good luck with this, especially at ports that have inadequate space. Whoops! This means ICDs..
but of course, also, the same manning issues.

I have tried in many different ways/tweets these last 8 years to warn of the mess UK was going to find itself in if & when it ever gets Brexit fully "done" (its choice, not the EU "punishing" UK) ..I am going to try again with a real effort not to use any tech/logistics jargon 😉
All countries start with their own customs & legally regulated (standards) territory. Trading within these (home/domestic) territories is of course the easiest of trade possible. Buyers & sellers are operating under the same mutually recognised legal oversight & authority.
Friendly countries can trade with each other but across customs borders & regulatory borders between their different customs & regulated territories. These borders are the highest of barriers to trade & mutual greater prosperity. No "Free Trade Agreement" can remove these borders

I note comments that EU suppliers will no longer want to supply GB. They will. If price is right & GB importers accept "Ex Works" Incoterms. (i.e. the produce is here: you collect). EU hauliers will also only deliver if all indemnity/demurrage/spoilt goods paid for by GB importer
But either way, it means the extra costs to you will be costs that are often now too prohibitive for GB importers. You were always going to be paying far more for far less choice & variety...unless dropping standards.
This is nature of trading across regulatory & customs borders
Regulatory & customs borders between different regulated & customs territories are the HIGHEST of trading barriers. UK chose to resurrect both against the EU27 without removing against any other country. Worse, done without the extra ops processing capacity needed for this choice

The disgusting Tory MP does not really give a shit & doesn't know her own Gov. rules. The foreign spouse cannot claim any state benefits & pays for NHS as a large up front payment (inc visa about 4 grand tot? for 1st of 2 visas needed of 2.5 years each) @paperghost Thread
@alexinlaw @StevePeers @ColinYeo1 @SimonFRCox @ZoeJardiniere His/her (foreign spouse) earnings don't count even if meeting min earnings threshold. If living abroad UK spouse must show 6 months earnings of 29,000 pa (38,700 pa next year) alone in UK before foreign spouse can apply
@ReuniteDivFamil Other absurd rules are if you (UK spouse) earn 29,000 pa & rent a property in central London your foreign spouse qualifies for visa, BUT if you earn 28,500 pa & own property in rural Wales your foreign spouse doesn't. All designed to keep Brits exiled @calvert_3

Once again for the Brexit liars & dummies 
1/ All countries start with their own market standards, regulated & customs territory.
If an outsider wants to sell on it you must prove you meet its standards & pay a tariff at its border
2/ If you want to stop another from being too protectionist & charging you whatever tariff they wish to keep you out of their territory, you join the WTO, which agrees maximum tariff schedules between its members.
There are 163 members, but not all countries of the world are
(Quick quiz: which sizeable countries are not members of the WTO?)
All countries (185) apart from a few tiny nations are WCO members
(to ensure consistency & harmony on commodity codes when trading)

Pre-Brexit A N Other paid the relevant tariffs on his parts from China before finishing the *British* product & sending onto his (fellow EU member) buyers completely free of all other costs apart from transport & CMR (despatch & delivery) note & invoice. . 1/5
..all for a nice profit & orders allowing employment of 15 staff.
Post-Brexit he paid these same tariffs on entry to UK *but now had to pay them again on behalf of his EU buyers* who will not pay them, as they will instead find new suppliers inside the EU (SM/CU) borders. 2/5
"What happened to "tariff free?" you might ask? Again it is our old friend, "Rules of Origin" (I have explained many times what RoO destructively means to so many - inc on car batteries -so forgive me if I do not do so again here today).
3/5
