It sounds like this ex-exployee of DExEU has agenda, care to post a link to the whole article so we can judge it for ourselves? Some of it is complete nonsense, such as the supermarkets warning of a 22% tariff on foods, trade negotiations are still in progress, are the supermarkets privy to these and know something we do not?

The Single Market didn't come into being until 1993, until then businesses had to make customs declarations, it was an accepted part of doing trade.
