<p>As the Prime Minister has made clear, on leaving the EU, the UK will also be leaving
the Single Market and the Customs Union. We will seek to establish a new and ambitious
customs arrangement with the EU that allows us to forge new trading relationships
with our partners around the world, while maintaining as frictionless trade as possible
in goods between the UK and EU, and providing a positive and powerful voice for free
trade.</p><p><br>In our future customs arrangements paper, we set out our two preferred
models for a future customs arrangement with the EU. In assessing the options for
the UK’s future outside the EU Customs Union, the Government will be guided by what
delivers the greatest economic advantage to the UK, and by three strategic objectives:</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><ul><li><p>Ensuring UK-EU trade is as frictionless as possible;</p></li><li><p>Avoiding
a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland;</p></li><li><p>And establishing
an independent international trade policy.</p></li></ul><p> </p>
