Everyday products such as butter, yoghurt, cheese and infant formula are likely to become “occasional luxuries” unless the UK secures a favourable Brexit settlement, the dairy industry has warned.
A study by London School of Economics Consulting, found the additional costs of trading dairy products with the EU were likely to be much higher than the 2 to 2.5 per cent previously estimated.
Arla, a co-operative of thousands of farmers across Europe which commissioned the research, said the findings meant UK consumers would either face higher prices, shortages of certain goods or lower standards after Brexit.
Every extra seven minutes of port check times will cost a minimum of £111 extra per container, the LSE research found. Additional fuel costs, lorry maintenance and a shortening of the available shelf life for products are likely to push that number higher, according to the study.
The report also warned of further costly delays as the UK customs system buckles under the weight of increased demand. The Customs Declaration System is designed to handle a maximum of 150 million declarations per year. After Brexit, it will need to deal with around 250 million.
This will increase uncertainty as well as costs and could push suppliers away from just-in-time delivery, meaning they will need to invest in additional storage facilities.
Plans are being drawn up to issue millions of permits so Britons can drive on EU roads after Brexit.
Up to seven million International Driving Permits could be needed inside a year if the UK and the EU do not agree to mutually recognise licences, the National Audit Office (NAO) says.
The public spending watchdog warned that "detailed delivery plans" had not yet been completed.
But the government told it the project was "deliverable".
The NAO report looks at how the Department for Transport is preparing for the UK's departure from the EU in March 2019.
It said the department had made a "determined effort" to address the "significant and complex challenge" of Brexit - but "still has much to do" with an increasing risk that projects will not be delivered on time.
Currently, UK driving licences are valid in all EU countries, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
But unless a specific agreement is reached, UK drivers will need "additional documentation" in Europe after Brexit, the report says.
The government's preparations for this scenario include ratifying a 1968 road traffic convention so International Driving Permits are recognised.
About 100,000 of these documents - which cost £5.50 and take about five minutes to apply for - are currently issued each year, and they are recommended or required in more than 140 countries worldwide.
This could increase to seven million permits being issued by 4,500 Post Offices in the first year of Brexit unless a deal is agreed, the NAO report says.

Butlins isn't really that cheap any more, it has vastly changed from the days of cheap gooseberry fool heap holidays.
