Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament's Brexit point-man, described the British government's ideas for a future customs agreement as "fantasy" after it outlined measures for an interim deal with no customs duties, intended to allow the freest possible trade in goods, and suggestions for a possible new trade partnership.

The package announced on state media includes removing exemptions on general sales tax and unifying low 21 to 20.709 percent rates on a large number of items at 10 percent while leaving it at 16 percent ceiling for others, alongside raising special taxes on tobacco, premium gasoline and streamlining customs duties.

Trump would also have required that the deal prohibit all customs duties for digital products, make sure companies did not have to share source codes in order to get into new markets and ensure free access for all cloud computing services in all TPP countries — all areas of growing U.S. strength.

Her preference is a "customs partnership", whereby the United Kingdom would apply EU customs duties, but rebate the difference for goods that stayed in the UK.

The large-scale fraud, which involves underdeclaring the value of imported goods to pay lower duties and sales taxes, was first uncovered in Britain, where it had gone on for years, prompting the European Commission this year to demand that London pay 2.7 billion euros ($3.1 billion) in lost customs duties to the EU budget.

Britain's government would be under pressure to direct public spending to prop up businesses or aid regions that are particularly affected by new barriers to trade with the EU. Tax revenue would also fall due to a recession pushing up unemployment and reducing asset prices, and only a small part of the drop would be offset by customs duties and a further forecast fall in debt interest costs.

"In order for the executive branch to impose trade barriers over and above the normal ordinary customs duties," he said, "we have to be in one of five situations: The goods are being dumped, the goods are subsidized, the goods have suddenly surged, national security or we're retaliating against another country for violating rules against us … and automobiles from Germany are not going to fit into any of those five."

Below are some of the options that May appears to have left open for Britain to pursue as it prepares to leave the EU, which accounts for almost half of British goods exports in value terms, as well as those that she appears to have ruled out: It is likely Britain will seek a free trade deal with the EU. Last year Canada signed an agreement with the bloc which removed 99 percent of customs duties.

European Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said the deal could boost exports by 20 billion euros ($22.8 billion) annually and create thousands of jobs in the EU. "We are basically tearing down all customs duties immediately on some cheeses like Gouda and cheddar and on wine and there will also be elimination of tariffs for other things that have been very expensive to buy from Japan but also very expensive to export to Japan, shoes, clothes, leather, wood products, etc," she told reporters.

Even then, they were still out of reach of most shoppers both because of their location (only in Mexico City) and prices (for example, 69 pesos or $5.30 for a pair of boxer briefs, far too expensive for 2012's annual household per capita income of $3,358.29.) So along with American guns (much easier to buy in the US given its lax gun laws), California weed (higher-quality than Mexican marijuana, following legalization), and auto parts (legal, but often undeclared to avoid paying high customs duties), secondhand clothing cannot just cross the border; it must be smuggled.
