Come October the 1st we are (apparently, many don't believe it will happen) going to start opening trucks and having a look, to see whether they genuinely do have 150 washing machines in the back, and checking whether sausages are made from Percy Pig rather than Henry Horse.

Which isn't going to have much impact on things coming from China that should already be subject to those checks at some point in the journey.

Where between the outbound Chinese border and our border would you expect someone to check for UK taxable items?

Depends how it was 'shipped'. At a sea port if it arrives by container on a boat. At an air port if arriving by plane.

(pre-Brexit) At the EU border if arriving by land but I'm not sure how much arrives that way?

Are you suggesting things are transiting through the EU in a customs sealed way (TIR Convention?) who no longer check it because it is exiting the EU and then the UK are not checking it either because it has come from the EU?
