This is what Jambalaya is talking about when he says we should embrace the opportunities of Brexit. Become smugglers!

Serious answer to the OP - we have no idea, this is the main problem. It takes years or even decades to sort this shite out.

On a serious note, this illustrates the level of uncertainty created by Brexit and the short term consequences.

I am sure that the long term benefits will outweigh those of course, like our ability to export massive amounts... of Marmite to New-Zealand.

A Chocolate Smuggler?

There's a euphemism waiting to happen.
