If like me you are struggling to find things to to in the current climate, the you might try the Rules of Origin, relating to Export of goods to the EU.
Now take a pack of dates from Israel from Israel landed in the UK If we remove the stones and export it to the EU it will attract a Tariff. However if we chop them up
and send them it will not attract a Tariff. Bonkers or not? Hence M & S are having troubles with Percy Pigs. The motor industry will cause loads of problems
depending on what percentage of the components used are from outside the EU . Exceed the percentage and it will attract a Tariff. There appears to be a stay of execution regarding Lithium Batteries and components from the far east, until manufacturing can be set up her or within the EU .
Re the article on the Customs Issues many Groupage Operators take loads from multiple exporters, A Customs Entry now has to be made for each exporter who has goods on the load. It therefor comes as no surprise that there is a total lack of enthusiasm from Hauliers operating within this sector. It is clearly not the case of following the red or green lane. Time will tell how this pans out, but must be said not very encouraging in its present form.

You don't have to tell me.

Take our previous situation of being in the EU. The EU had a trade agreement with Turkey so we imported Turkish goods into the UK duty free.

Now take the current situation of the UK having a trade agreement with Turkey and the EU still have their trade agreement with Turkey. However if we export the goods to the EU that we imported from Turkey they have duty on them as the UK/EU trade agreement only covers goods produced in the EK/EU.

If only this was the only problem.
