The problem with tariffs is when you hit some sort of scale. Let's say a car manufacturer gets hit with a 1% tariff when moving components around Europe during their production, a common way of working, that would be unsustainable for a major business. Anyone here would move their pensions to get an additional 1% and companies will move production to mainland Europe if it reduces their operation costs.
Paying 1% more for French cheese isn't the problem.
