The UK set out the "ambitious new customs arrangement" it wants to secure with the EU after Brexit.

UK Suggests Post-Brexit ’Temporary Customs Union’ With EU

Ministers said the plans would mean the "freest and most frictionless possible trade" with the rest of Europe.

This could include a "temporary customs union" after Brexit to prevent border problems as the UK leaves the EU.

Businesses called for clarity since the UK said it was leaving the customs union - the EU's tariff-free trading area - as part of Brexit.

The customs union document is the first of a series of papers to be published by the UK government on key negotiation issues.

On Wednesday it is expected to set out proposals for the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
