A no-deal Brexit could unleash a flood of fake goods in the UK, retail expert says

“A no-deal Brexit and explosion of grey market websites via unauthorized dealer networks could continue to give us access to products we want at cheaper prices. With a deep enough search, all of us can find grey market websites catering for products such as shoes, watches, clothes, cameras, furniture, TVs, and more,” she added.

Assuming there is a flood of grey market goods into the U.K. post hard Brexit, who gets hurt the most: consumers or the product manufacturers? It's not going to be the consumers for sure.

If the rest of the EU were smart (and I'm not implying they are ....) they'd pay close attention to what's about to happen in UK and start plotting their own hard exits from the EU.

That would not necessarily be a bad thing.

Grey market goods played an important role in tamping down inflation here in the 70’s and 80’s.
