If there is a hard Brexit and no agreement, will all bets be off? Are we expecting a tariff to be placed on the 15% of products coming into the country?

Are we expecting anything like that to happen? As for the portion we cannot make ourselves, or for which we do not have a ready-made equivalent, what can be done? Can we be held to ransom as a state in being charged exorbitant amounts for the few per cent of product we get in from the United Kingdom?
