I do not think it is at all but if Britain leaves the customs union presumably there will be some mechanism to ensure that certain rules are kept and what we would look for is minimal disruption and disturbance. The horrific imagery of Border posts, with lorries and cars and freight queueing there, is unacceptable and we would have to introduce the most seamless way possible of doing that without disturbing either the local population, tourists or tradesmen, more than is absolutely necessary. The most constructive suggestion so far has been that it be done by sophisticated technology.
