I fear the fact-free Leaver media have misinformed you and many others about the Customs Union in order for you to vote Leave. Iceland is a member of the Customs Union but has negotiated a trade deal with China.

Anyway, we may not really leave as Sky News explains:

Because, from within the Cabinet Brexit subcommittee, the idea of essentially remaining part of the same customs union is now seriously being pondered again.
Formally, this will be a separate and entirely new customs union between the UK and the EU27. Functionally, it means exactly what people meant a year ago when it was first suggested the UK would stay in such an arrangement.
