While there is no clarity as to how the 40% transshipment tariff is going to be used, it doesn't mean that CBP won't start applying it to some shipments to "encourage" compliance.

Brexit was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union.
The UK has left the European Union. Referendum fulfilled.
If the people bleating about "Brexit Betrayal" wanted the Referendum to enshrine their pet policy preferences, they should have included them in the question.
