This is a myth. The U.K. would need to buy the goods from the other third country and then resell them. That is perfectly legitimate trade.Let's say the EU has the battery packs Joe Bloggs wants in their flying skateboards, they can easily get them because of the unfettered Single Market access through the UK. So, basically, Britain can become a conduit for foreign companies to get their stuff and pay nothing on tariffs.
They don’t simply become a conduit. That is just nonsense. And you also did not consider the scenario from the other direction. U.K. would be a conduit to all EU exporters to countries that don’t have a deal with the EU but do with the U.K.
A bit far fetched like just about most things Brexit.
