Where in the EU rules does it say that they control movement of goods within a non-EU country or between non-EU countries? They don't even control movement of goods within the EU.
It's only when any goods are marketed etc inside the EU that they have a say. A business in the EU, can manufacture goods that don't meet EU rules, as long as they don't market them in the EU.

If you leave the single market, that's what happens - leave means leave and all that.

And Leave means the EU can't tell us what we can and can't ship between GB and NI. This is NOT about trade with the EU, but the EU controlling trade within the UK.
