The prophets of doom may yet have their moment in the sun considering that no laws have changed yet. And no one knows what the actual rules are going to be come 1/1/2021.

In my personal circumstances my business makes most of it's sales to the EU and if things happen like they look like might happen I'm going to be contractually forced to lower prices to compensate for any customs duty my customers will have to pay. Additionally I'll have to spend several more hours per week just to make customs documents, or hire someone to do it for me.

So I'm still really hoping the customs union will remain intact.

Right. There's still no deal between the UK and the EU. The UK still wants many of the benefits of being in the EU without submitting to the EU's trade rules.[1]
