Duty is levied on CIF value. Common around the world. I’m not aware of any country that does this differently.
Correct, based on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and detailed by the World Customs Organization.

Finally, someone who knows what Boris Johnson wants in respect to Brexit. Could you please share with the rest of the world what this "reasonable deal" would look like?
Maybe he could start by putting on the negotiating table a comprehensive draft text of an agreement that would be acceptable for the UK. Because the past three years have proven that you don’t get what you want by only telling what you do not want..........

Hong Kong airport is a hub for many transfer flights. I believe the protests in the airport do not effect transfer flights. Delays, yes.
I get from the news that on several days now all flights were canceled, so how would transfer flights not be affected?

Just another ‘unelected bureaucrat’ with an opinion based on ignorance.

Does anyone really give a toss what booze fueled crap Junker spews...
Unfortunately for you, he is only communicating the opinion of 27 elected Heads of State, so shooting the messenger won’t solve your problem.

.......but that doesn’t mean you can not trade, as you claim.
Has absolutely zero to do with ‘surrendering rights to the EU’.

Well, if you are still in the UK it would seem best to buy your dollars there, you loose money a second time when you change baht bought with Sterling into dollars.

The UK will not starve.
In fact, it will be just fine. New supply chains will develop immediately.
Here's a bonus...you get your freedom back.
Could you expand on that bonus? What freedom that you do not have now will be returned to you?

He is lucky to be in London. Would he be doing the same work in Brussels he would be scorned and called an ‘unelected bureaucrat’ by the Brexiteers on this website......

1 What question (s) should be asked?
2 Who would be eligible to vote? All Scots worldwide, in the UK or just in Scotland?
3 Only Scots or world wide Scots plus the current population (whatever their nationality) living in Scotland at the time?
4 What age limits are acceptable? 16 and over, younger or older age limits?
5 What should be the minimum % pass? 50% +1, 60%, 65%, 70% or more or less than that?
6 If the referendum should fail when should another attempt be allowed? Once in a lifetime (how many years is that?), after 5, 10, 20 years or longer?
7 What happens if the referendum fails to meet the pass mark?
8 Can the rest of the UK have a vote as to whether the rest of the UK want Scotland to stay in the union?
Something for the Scots and probably all of us need to know before it kicks off.
Amazing to see a Brexiteer propose setting these detailed ground rules before the event - if only they had been there with the Brexit referendum the UK might have been in a different situation,

39 minutes ago, Jip99 said:Yep................. that's the trouble with 'negotiation'.
When you have a bully on one side it is difficult to gain agreement.......... but perhaps that was never the intention.
To answer the OP's question......................... OUT..................... no change from 3 years ago.
What if the UK negotiators had come up with some ideas or even the outline if a plan? Going into negotiations of whatever kind without a clue of which direction to take puts you in a weak position.

You weren’t pushed into a corner - you started off in that corner position and didn’t take any action to get out of it. Don’t keep blaming the EU for having developed a plan while you didn’t bother to come up with one.

But of course his comments would have been warmly welcomed if they were positive about a US-UK deal????.

We haven’t got to the deal yet, because the EU and Remainers are still trying to stitch us up with a sneaky pre-Deal. No trade talks until the UK is tied to the EU good and proper.
Abandoning the idea of a divorce ‘settlement’ would be a fair start.You keep repeating your mantra, blaming the EU and remainers. Why not blame the brexiteers who started this off - and probably finish - without even the very beginnings of a plan.

A fair deal would have been acceptable, but it’s far too late for that now.
Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa ConnectYou decided to go for Brexit without a plan, so why not leave now, 3 years later, still without a plan. Just leave and everything will be OK! And if it turns out to be not OK, it’s the EU’s fault. Simple!

1 hour ago, nauseus said:Ooh. Do you really think they would have been allowed to do that?
Nonsense. They were fully entitled - and expected too - to put their own text on the table (which they never did because there was no plan). If you put yourself in a very weak position by arriving at the negotiating table without any sort of plan, don’t blame the other party for having one.

28 minutes ago, nauseus said:I would add that Theresa May's deal is so advantageous to the EU, at the expense of the UK, it seems that most of it must was probably drafted on the continent and then presented to her, not for approval but for acceptance.
Can you remember how quickly the EU approved it in record time; all those smiling faces but saying how sad they all were?
Here's a reminder. So sad, sad enough to make anyone cry ???? :
‘.........it seems that most of it must was probably drafted on the continent and then presented to her, not for approval but for acceptance.’
Well, I’m pretty sure it was drafted on the continent, because the UK representatives arrived in Brussels completely unprepared, empty-handed and without a plan or even a clue of which direction to take. The EU, on the other hand, had used the many months between the referendum and the start of the negotiations to prepare their position, including drafting texts. Somebody has to do it!
It looks very much like the UK has never put a comprehensive text of their own on the table........
