1) A two hour delay, multiplied across the millions of consignments entering and exiting the country isn't nothing. This isn't like when you have to hang around A&E for a few hours to see a doctor. That only inconveniences you, at minimal cost.
2) 2021 gives time to prepare.
3) There's no indication that Scotland wouldn't immediately be in a customs union with the EU had it became independent.
