And you really think the UK would allow in everything tariff free? While
other countries impose tariffs on our goods?
Not everything no. It's certain we'll impose tariffs on finished goods (to
encourage manufacturing in the UK, from imported tariff free components)
But there seems to be a move for zero tariffs on agriculture, as we are
not self sufficient in food and (except in a few cases) have no need to
discourage importation of such - that doesn't mean that there won't be
minimum standards of production enforced.
Think you forget tariffs are often used as a political weapon. Since so
many agricultural products are available from more than one country.
