It might just be "a bit of smuggling", but it is more likely to be something like the horse meat scandal, but many times larger (because of greater incentives arising from different prices and regulations), and covering many more products. We are vulnerable to such things even within the EU because of the lack of internal checks, even when the regulations are common. If they differ, the incentive for "a bit of smuggling" is much higher.
