but an exporting country is not the one that put tariffs. it is the importing country that does it.
obviously you are in a EU country or at least in one that have a trade deal with the EU and your country can not put tariffs on the german imports - otherwise the EU (and not only germany) would do the same with imports from your country.
this is how the game is played and this is what brits obviously do not understand.
they think after brexit they can make a deal with every EU country - but thatīs IMPOSSIBLE. they have to deal with the whole EU on same conditions.
the only different to before will be that they have no voting rights in brussel anymore and are not protected by the EU if other countries give a shit on britains trade policy.
there is a huge difference if you act in the name of 520 million buyers or if you act in the name of 66 million (UK) or later possibly only in the name of 53 million (england).
they wanted importance and voted for losing it.
