It's not so much cutting of trade just the fact that this trade will become more expensive outside the single market
As for a special deal just with the UK why would they treat us better then the US? The US trade with the EU is twice the size of the UK.
On top of this we will still need to comply with all of the rules and regulations of trading there, CE marking as a starter among lots of other things .
In addition if we say our rules and regulations will be ours to decide and so will start to drift away from the EU this would mean companies potentially having to produce a special UK version (this was the whole point of harmonization) and I can't see suppliers absorbing all of those costs.
