This map shows all of the customs posts in Switzerland.

You'll find it at: pwebapps.ezv.admin.ch/apps/dst/?lang…

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

"No merchandise customs clearance"
Click on others and you'll see goods clearance times. You'll also see large car and lorry parks.
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.

Where's the rebuttal to Lilley's paper that Dominic Grieve referred to?
Prof Winters article? politics.co.uk/comment-analys…
No that's from August. Same nonsense from Lilley though.

This really disgusts me. Back in 2015 Owen Patterson was promoting Brexit on the basis that we would leave the "political institutions" but remain members of the EEA/Single Market, possibly joining EFTA and be "big players" at the WTO.

See video in next tweet.
Video part 1/2

He said 4.5-5 million jobs due to the Single Market/EEA. We can be really big players in EEA/EFTA post-Brexit - Owen Patterson from 2015.

Owen Patterson 2019 - Gung-ho WTO.
Video part 2/2

Patterson 2015 - We could become really active in the EEA. Big players on the World Stage and at the WTO.

Erm... Japan's economy is twice the size of the UK's and they get marginalised at the WTO. See follow up tweet.

@_HenryBolton This complete nonsense. The 20% figure is pure fantasy.

On the majority of goods imported into the UK tariffs don't apply because they are imported:

1 From EU
2 From FTA partners at 0%
3 From developing countries at 0%
4 Under a tariff quota at 0%
5 On a 0% tariff rating anyway
@_HenryBolton Before the UK joined the EEC in 1973 we had tariffs and quota restrictions on non-Commonwealth and even some Commonwealth goods that were higher than the EEC's Common External Tariff, and after Brexit we will still have tariffs. The Dept of Intl Trade has no plans to reduce them.
@_HenryBolton EU tariff rates are on the more liberal side compared to other nations and because of EU Trade preferences and free trade deals they do mot apply in many cases.

The World Bank published a report on trade preferences a few months ago.

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.

1/ Another customs thread. This time on #customs formalities and #Backstop . Backstop envisages a #customsunion with simplifications. It mentions that a movement certificate, A.UK, will be required. No mention of customs declarations.
2/ Movement certificate demonstrates that goods are eligible for trade under a customs union. Is certified by e.g. a Chamber of Commerce. Declarations do more than that. They are entered into the national customs system and enable customs authorities to collect customs data.
3/ Much more info on a declaration than on a movement cert. Some of the most important fields include commodity code, value of goods, country of origin and customs procedure. Would imagine the UK would still like to collect this data for various reasons even under backstop.

On #customs formalities and documentation under various #Brexit scenarios. Procedures and documentation required for customs clearance can be confusing. Particularly, the difference between a single market and a customs union seems to be unclear. /1
Under different Brexit scenarios there will be different customs formalities and supporting documentation traders will need to complete/ provide for customs clearance (from an upcoming blogpost): /2
This is a simplified view - additional formalities are required depending on the type of goods (e.g. agricultural, excise) and other supporting documentation may be needed (e.g. licenses, certificates, value declaration, insurance docs, tariff quota docs etc). /3

Let's funish our trip to Sweden with a look at the work of artist Hans Arnold!
Hans Arnold was born in Switzerland, but spent most of his career in Sweden. He's widely known for his horror and folktale art.
Arnold had a very strict Catholic education in #Switzerland, with a strong emphasis on heaven and hell. It clearly influenced his work!

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):

Pas loin de chez moi, il y a un village qui s'appelle Eourres, et qui regroupe à peu près toutes les atrocités de la pseudo-science, sans oublier les monstruosités de la spiritualité en carton.

#thread
Vous n'avez pas idée à quel point la concentration d'illuminés est forte là-bas. Le village est littéralement loin de tout, en quasi-autarcie. Il a son école, son épicerie etc.
Le site parle d'un village alternatif où rien n'est parfait, c'est mensonger : tout est merdique, et les gens sont littéralement hors de la réalité là-bas
