Extreme left wing financial times with their remoaner fiction...

The country’s current account deficit was calculated at 8.3 per cent of gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2022, a deterioration from an average of 2.6 per cent across all of 2021.
It was the worst figure on record since quarterly balance of payments data was first published in 1955.
The weak performance of UK exports and a surge in imports highlight the economic effects of Brexit.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Some downsides: https://yorkshirebylines.co.uk/regul...nside-dossier/
Personally, I've never heard of this one but made me laugh although I've had similar to this going from Germany into Switzerland some years ago:
Lap tops. Travellers to the EU who carry a laptop for work purposes will require an ATA carnet to temporarily export their computer and avoid import charges according to advice from the government. A carnet from the London Chambers of Commerce costs £300 + VAT (members £180). To avoid this cost business travellers can, for some goods, use a ‘duplicate list‘ which is more complicated than exporting using an ATA Carnet and requires a list on company stationery plus a completed form C&E1246 with an EORI Number and a customs declaration
or:
Temporary imports: Spanish customs charged a holidaymaker 21% duty (£340) on the value of three e-bikes imported temporarily into Spain. Anyone taking reasonably high-value goods from the UK to the EU is required to declare them and pay any tariffs due. Payment can be avoided by paying for a customs carnet although this would have cost £300 plus VAT.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

This was, of course, dismissed by the diptulips like vetran as being nonsense.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

It doesn't matter whether it is for work or not any goods above a certain value need to be declared. Germany allows the import of goods of up to EUR 700 without declaring. Anything above that should be declared. Every country has different rules for non-EU travellers.
