Vassal states should do what they're told, not what they think.
In time you'll get used to being the EU's bitch.

Are you deliberately lying?Originally posted by vetran View PostThat's alright they can do the customs declaration for the Chinese goods they are fiddling where they landed in Hamburg.
Not a problem for us as we will receive goods in UK ports now.
You’ve quoted a paragraph but then deliberately left out this:

The containers, considered to be in transit, would then be placed on lorries and taken for customs clearance elsewhere in the EU, wherever fraudsters considered they could get away with declaring falsely low values for the products they were importing.

Not a problem for us as we will receive goods in UK ports now.The fraudsters’ modus operandi was fairly
simple. Goods from China would arrive in
containers on vessels, which would generally
enter Europe through the port of Hamburg, although
other European ports were used occasionally. The
containers, considered to be in transit, would then
be placed on lorries and taken for customs clearance
elsewhere in the EU, wherever fraudsters considered
they could get away with declaring falsely low values
for the products they were importing.

Collecting EU tariffs and VAT
Part of the White Paper proposal is that the U.K. should collect and pay over tariffs and VAT on behalf of the EU.
However, the U.K. is also the EU capital for undervaluation fraud on textiles and footwear.
The EU is unlikely to allow an even greater scope for U.K.-based fraud to continue.
