    Oh dear. The extra cost is mainly in non-tariff barriers. You know, the extra checks that the U.K. will be imposing to “secure its borders”.

    The EU as a whole has relatively low tariffs with other countries, particularly through the EBA and GSP where tariffs on food from developing countries is 0%.

    I'm sure it's a small price to pay for a blue passport (that most brexiteers will never use) and those unemployed brexit voters

    can you explain how that works economically and how sustainable it it?

    Fruit and vegetables, in particular, could become more expensive, with 40 per cent of vegetables and 37 per cent of fruit sold in the UK coming from the EU, the peers said.
