The plan promises to deliver an "ambitious new customs arrangement" and the "freest and most frictionless possible trade" with the rest of the EU. Yet the U.K. proposal has little audience in Brussels because it demands the right to negotiate its own international trade deals — something it cannot do as an EU customs union member, and something the EU has been reluctant to move on.

"While all likely Brexit outcomes will entail costs for the U.K. economy by departing from the frictionless single market that now prevails, an agreement that minimizes the introduction of new tariff and non-tariff barriers would best protect growth and incomes in the U.K. and EU," the IMF said in its latest report on the outlook and risks to the world economy, published Monday.

Over dinner, she said the problem could be solved by securing the type of "frictionless trade" envisaged in her Chequers plan, and that Britain was still committed to agreeing a fall-back scheme with the EU. "However, the Commission's proposal for this protocol - that I should assent to a legal separation of the United Kingdom into two customs territories - is not credible," she said.

Where British soldiers once manned checkpoints in a reminder of Ireland's division, the border is currently open and frictionless with no controls as both the United Kingdom and Ireland are part of the EU. But when the United Kingdom leaves the EU's Single Market and Customs Union the EU does not want the 310-mile (500 km) border to become a backdoor into the bloc without customs and regulatory checks.

The government paper calls for "a new customs arrangement that facilitates the freest and most frictionless trade possible in goods between the UK and the EU" and further outlines two proposals to achieve that, both which fall largely in line with their current customs relationship: "[A] new customs partnership... which would negate the need for a customs border between the UK and the EU", or a new "highly streamlined customs arrangement".

BIRMINGHAM, England, Oct 1 (Reuters) - A solution to providing frictionless trade across the Irish border after Britain leaves the European Union might be found using technology such as Blockchain, finance minister Phillip Hammond said on Monday "There is technology becoming available (...) I don't claim to be an expert on it but the most obvious technology is blockchain," Hammond said when asked about how the government could achieve smooth trade after Brexit.

Both sides would like a trade deal that maintains as much "frictionless trade" as possible, with the EU saying it is willing to offer the U.K. an "unique" free trade agreement in which there are zero tariffs on goods, zero quotas (limiting the amount of goods) and no trade barriers, but that continuing access to the single market will depend on what conditions and rules the U.K. is willing to accept.

One strategist told CNBC Tuesday that sterling could sink or soar by as much as 10 percent at the start of next year depending on whether or not the U.K. reaches an agreement with the EU. The U.K. is due to leave the EU on March 29, 2019; but negotiating teams are still hashing out the details of an accord that will allow them to keep frictionless trade.

Hyundai announced today a partnership with Amazon to create a digital showroom to allow customers to compare pricing and reviews, book a test drive and find a dealer in their area to purchase the car (no, you can't order them directly from Amazon — yet.) "The car industry is changing, and customer demands and expectations around a frictionless, efficient and transparent experience are key drivers," Dean Evans, Hyundai Motor America CMO, said in a statement.

Here is a person whose very first appearance in a feature film, as the unforgettable Patsey in "12 Years a Slave" (2013), made her the seventh black woman and first black African to win an Academy Award for acting; a person whose doll-like facial symmetry and frictionless skin has landed her four solo appearances on the cover of Vogue; a person who speaks four languages and holds a graduate degree from Yale.

In the current Brexit debate, no one on either side seems to know what to do about the post-Brexit border between the Republic of Ireland, which will remain in the EU, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K. According to the Good Friday Agreement adopted in 1998 during the Northern Irish peace process, the Irish border must remain totally open, free, and frictionless—which is also important given the deep integration of Ireland's cross-border commuters and commerce.

One of the key pro-Brexit voices in the cabinet, foreign minister Boris Johnson, has set out his own view ahead of the meetings, warning May that Britain must avoid becoming subordinate to the EU. "What we need to do is something new and ambitious, which allows zero tariffs and frictionless trade but still gives us that important freedom to decide our own regulatory framework, our own laws and do things in a distinctive way in the future," he told the Sunday Times newspaper.

Nowadays, we use Snapchat and WhatsApp to stay in touch with friends, hit up swiping apps to find dates (and then use some of those apps to find new friends, too), and we turn to our smartphones to flag down rides in a process that's so frictionless, we don't have to utter a single word to be ushered from point A to point B. Suffice to say, meeting people online is no longer as scary as it might have been when our parents were warning us against talking to strangers in AOL chatrooms.

Despite Kenny's and May's heartening vow that "there will be no return to borders of the past" between Northern Ireland and the Republic once the U.K. leaves the EU, neither has yet offered a single workable suggestion about how they will get this past the other 26 members of the EU, who have clearly articulated their very dim view of the possibility of member states establishing bilateral deals with the U.K. Both heads of state repetitively used the phrase "frictionless and seamless border" last Monday but this ideal is at complete odds with the U.K.'s red lines of remaining in the single market or the existing customs union.

This period would involve: - a new customs union with no customs processes or duties between Britain and the EU, and a shared external tariff - Britain being able to pursue new trade agreements with non-EU countries during the interim period, although such deals would not be brought into effect until after the transition The government put forward two options for its future customs relationship with the EU: This would see the UK and EU trade with each other effectively as third parties but look to make customs procedures as frictionless as possible, including using technology to make it easier for businesses to comply with customs procedures.
