It failed miserably. The UK products were in demand in Europe and Napoleon lacked a Customs Department capable of enforcement. It lacked a Coast Guard Revenue Cutter force capable of smuggling interdiction and it certainly did not have a Navy that was capable of protecting its Coast Guard. English Sea Captains quickly became experts at smuggling those products that Europeans wanted and huge profits were made.

Absolutely. Europeans wanted UK goods and refused to accept a substitute. Napoleon did not have a viable Customs service, it lacked a Coast Guard and a Revenue Cutter System and had no Navy to guarantee their security. Smuggling became a natural way of life and people became experts including the art or corruption and bribery.
