Quote from The Sun:
IT is Britain’s biggest warehouse – but the doom-mongering anti-Brexit brigade would prefer that you did not even know it exists.
Felixstowe, on the Suffolk coast, is Britain’s biggest and busiest container port, handling £80billion of goods every year.
The vast majority of the four million containers that pass through come from outside the EU — but there are no catastrophic queues, stacks of paperwork or ludicrous checkpoints as a result.
Non-EU goods must be declared and processed, and whining Remainers insist that doing this with EU goods would cause chaos if we leave the customs union. They say the country will become a bureaucratic basket case.
That is baffling news for the port workers in Felixstowe.
Their system is so efficient that some EU containers, arriving on non-EU ships go through the processing system anyway as it is so painless.

Quote:
Felixstowe is proof that leaving the customs union will not be the logistical disaster that some warn it could be.
Figures show an estimated 98 per cent of non-EU crates pass through the port of Felixstowe as quickly and easily as goods that arrive from within the EU.
This is because the non-EU goods have cleared customs before they even reach Britain thanks to a digital cargo-tracking system called Destin8.

So there's already the Destin8 system of electronic customs pre-declaration for non-EU goods illustrating that the NI border issue that remainers think is so impossible to solve really doesn't exist at all.
