Look at the Swedish -Norwegian border - it's not open and there are lines and delays....

" Sweden's Europe minister has poured cold water on the idea of the UK enjoying "frictionless trade" after Brexit. Ann Linde, who has sat on the Nordic country's frontbench since May 2016, told Sky News: "It's not possible to have frictionless trade if you are not part of the customs union and the single market."

and Customs themselves reckon their "new" system for post Brexit isn't tested or ready partly because no politician can tell them exactly what to plan for

It really is a shambles..................
