the EU are perfectly entitled to impose onerous restrictive practices on internal and external countries, but it is obvious that this is a `lesson`
.. for internal consumption (fear of god into members, like any dictator does)
.. and for external punishment (that's wot you get, UK, for not obeying us, like any dictator does)

Sorry Gary, but you pillock.
This has nothing to do with the EU imposing rules on the UK. The UK decided to LEAVE the system that was in place and go it alone.
And as such the UK will now be treated the same as Colombia, Uganda, USA, etc when it comes to trade. The 'Deal' which the UK struck with the EU
is what the UK and EU have agreed to. Nothing was imposed. Why should the EU treat the UK any differently to the other countries mentioned
above now that the UK is no longer a member of the EU?
This is what was voted for in the referendum, but pigheaded brits still thinking Britain is Great in the world scene and people that believed a
liar are now facing the REAL consequences of their simplistic vote. Is the NHS now receiving £350m a week in extra funding?

I knew when the referendum was first launched that the question was far too simplistic for such a complex matter.
How many people can actually quote an EU regulation that has impacted their lives negatively, and are now better off for being outside the EU. I haven't found that person yet...

The UK has got what it asked for, no more no less.

moi?? a pillock .. ... surely not .... but i suppose4 on reflection of my successful life .. you may have a point.

look, we did not `negotiate` a deal, we fought the best we could against superior odds, eu held all the cards, or nearly all, but we have value too, and a trading position .... but to interact with the eu we had to go to their rules, and those rules make us a `third country` in their terminology, but not a third world country ... we still have a lot of value ... that will no doubt deminish in the short term ... but in the long term we will florish .. especially with our illustrious leader , like bojo .. and .. er ... just a mo, I need time to think ...

we are not cut off
we are not isolated
eu is our nearest trading block, but it is not the be all and end all of the world

give it time and when the `punishment` is over, or eased, the eu will see the benefits of trading with our great nation ... great britain

Do you struggle with comprehension?

qcnr summed it perfectly, go back and re-read his post and then tell us, why Brexit was a great idea for the common man (hedge funds excepted)

Flourish?

We make nothing

We are fucked

We are a net importer for food and everything else

Only strength was Financial Services, but that is now moving to EU - all EU bond and share trading moved to Frankfurt and Paris on day 1 of Brexit (2/1/2021) and that was worth £6 billion in UK revenue and UK tax receipts

Loads of businesses are relocating to Europe - hell, even AdvSpec is moving to France, as their trading in EU is bigger than what it sells to us lot, in UK

EU isn't 'punishing' us, we voted for this fuck up, they are merely treating UK as any other 3rd status country

some people .. the majority on here, it seems, do not comprehend the notion of
FREEDOM

if it needs explaining, there is no point in trying.

i have come to believe that those who wish to remain tethered to the eu strings, are those who personally wish for ease of movement (adventure bikers) or/and who have business interests in or connected with the eu

Just a reminder. Your freedom to move and the customs / export / import situation you face depends upon where your country sits within this diagram:

Shouldn't a quarter of the UK icon be inside the EU area?

But this thread is about IMPORT duties - the mechanism the UK government has chosen to implement for IMPORTS from EU member states. It's not been "dictated" by the EU nor "an onerous restrictive practice on .. external countries" imposed by the EU nor a "lesson" the EU has imposed nor "external punishment" - it's what the UK government has chosen to implement.

my understanding is that the UK chose to impliment Zero trade tarrifs on goods from the EU .. even before the `deal` was imposed on us?

please correct me if i am wrong.

so my assumption is that these tarriffs, over £135, as JB says, are therefor export taxes imposed by the EU? to `third countries?

The tariffs, charges and taxes will (I think) be the same as if you bought something from the USA for example.

20% VAT is levied on imports (UK law). Handling fees are levied by some couriers (down to each courier company).
