They were going outside the EU - Las Palmas is in Gran Canaria.
It's not, you're arguing a falsehood, it's not going to the EU, if it was he wouldn't need a customs declaration.
What you talk about is handled by national reporting of intrastat monthly, which is really not that difficult.

Haha yes they got sent ages ago, my boss did it when he was back... thing is my boss was then arrested (Guessing the time off was court in secret)
So I never knew what the codes were, until he was let out not to long ago and he told me, so I thought I would share
I think your work is desperately in need of some documentation!
What does the EU have to do with anything? It's the UK government I'm talking about...
You think there should be no customs checks? What is the point of having UK laws if you can just ignore those laws and bring items across borders - an AK47, to give an extreme example.
And it's the government of the destination you are unhappy with, it's their customs officials who'll hold it if it doesn't have the correct paperwork.
Goods can be held on export without proper documentation.
There's a difference between screening for illegal weapons and filling in tariff papers. Which would obviously be faked if someone was importing illegal goods anyway.
Never happened in my experience. I'm sure it can though.
Ignoring for the moment that faked papers can give customs a clue something is wrong (you'd think smugglers would be smart, but chances are they use a completely unlikely commodity code to describe their goods), you think all trade should be tariff free, because there is absolutely no other way to police it then voluntary declaration using harmonised commodity codes.
Removing all tariffs globally is a bit like removing all nuclear weapons globally except it's not only highly improbable but also highly harmful.
Yeah it does, we hold lots of exports for a variety of reasons. Missing invoices are the most common but it can be all sorts of reasons.
There are numerous laws that apply cross-borders which couriers need to comply with even before taking goods into another country.Things like not shipping dangerous goods, endangered species or goods derived from them, diamonds from conflict zones etc. Paperwork is an important part of those security checks.
Smugglers tend to be very smart. For example, many moons ago when I worked for an international courier, there was a period where counterfeit credit cards were being smuggled into the country in photo albums. The paperwork and tariff information indicated this, and on cursory inspection they were photo albums. But if you opened up the books instead of photos you had faked credit cards!
Tariffs are damaging to the national economy because they result in higher prices for the consumer and cost the taxpayer a large amount in administrative fees.
