It's a long document. Could you direct me to the part that provides
for customs duty / tariffs on trade between Great Britain and the
EU and the part that provides the opposite for Northern Ireland,
please?

NDYOHW!

Fair enough.

The only reasonable conclusion from that is that it isn't there. But
being as reasonable as possible, it would be a bit of a surprise if
the central provision of a trade agreement had been directly negated
simply by a consolidating document.


I think the point is that The EU and UK Trade and Cooperation
Agreement was only an interim agreement, to meet the PM's Brexit
deadline. It therefore may not reflect the government's long term
intentions.

It's easily settled - by someone pointing to the part of the
consolidated document which imposes customs duty on imports / exports to
/ from the EU and GB.

Easier said than done. The legislation allows the creation of secondary
legislation to do such things. So finding the relevant legislation would
involve trawling through the Regulations made under the Act.

To avoid the need for everybody to do that, the government gives this
summary of the requirements as they stand now:
