It's certainly bad in the short term because no one knows what form it will take, and we're only 12 months from deadline. I travel around Europe for my job and at the moment there is a good chance I will be out of work this time next year.

@SW-User sorry to hear that. My brother in law has a business (chemicals) where he imports everything. He says if they impose tariffs he can't survive 3 months.

@SW-User thats what i fear so many people will either lose thier jobs or will be forced to give up their jobs because of the extra cost, paperwork etc.

@milkymum1 There's exactly the issue - he can currently order something from France, Germany or Belgium and know exactly when it will be on his door and very rarely is it not. So he can delay ordering until he needs to - he'll have to up his prices, buy a bigger or another unit (already looking at one up the road) to hold more stock which puts his company at bigger risk.
