Your best bet is to Google the FT article "Brexit and customs union — what’s at stake for Britain" which explains the situation. Some other snippets are below:

Quote:
Where materials are imported and re-exported, companies can generally claim back duties. However, doing so means keeping track of exactly where all components come from — meaning a mountain of paperwork.
“It would create a whole set of red tape for us to understand and work our way through,” said Brandauer boss Rowan Crozier. “That’s a challenge that a smaller company like us could do without.”

Businesses could become ensnared in red tape unless the government heeds the concerns of industry and retains European Union regulations after Brexit, a House of Lords report warns....It warned that non-tariff barriers, which restrict trade through mechanisms such as embargoes or customs delays, are often more costly to businesses than tariffs and are far harder to remove through a free-trade deal.

Congratulations on your 10,000 post.

I can't answer your question but the article you refer to was in fact penned by Barry Eichengreen who is a professor of economics at the University of California.
