UK owes EU £2.4bn Customs Duty

The UK is in trouble for not paying the right amount of duty on goods from outside the EU coming into British ports.

I guess this highlights some of the potential hazards of "frictionless trade". If it's frictionless, how can we make sure we are collecting the right amount of duty?

That's the EU's interpretation. The UK disputes this, and we are now set for a very lengthy court case.

The problem is that because of freedom of movement of goods means they are then dumped in the EU.

It's appropriate for it to be investigated and adjudicated upon - the terms are explicit and clear. The benefits of EU membership far outweigh the financial husbandry of customs. The importers should stand liabilities, not the state.
