The government has published its 'no deal' tariff plan I see - https://www.ft.com/content/d05189c8-...5-23d669740bfb

It looks like most products will be tariff free, only meat, dairy, cars, ceramics and fuels will attract significant tariffs which is good news for those industries though of course not for consumers who buy Irish beef and German cars for example. It looks like a temporary initiative for a year in the first instance.

I see also, there is a plan for no checks and customs declarations at the Irish border planned for a period of 12 months.

So, rolling these two together, we will charge tariffs on some imports from the EU unless they come across the Irish border where they can just go through. You could see a lot of EU shipments coming in to the Port of Dublin and then across the border.
