The first stage of the UK’s new border model, originally set for October, is now delayed to January 2024.
The implementation of post-Brexit border checks on food products coming from the EU has been delayed for a fifth time, the Government has confirmed.
The Cabinet Office said: “Having listened to the views of industry, the Government has agreed to a delay of three months for the introduction of remaining sanitary and phytosanitary controls, as well as full customs controls for non-qualifying Northern Ireland goods, which will now be introduced from January 2024.
According to the revised timetable, starting from January 31, 2024, imports of medium-risk animal products, plants, plant products, and high-risk non-animal origin food from the EU will require health certification. The Cabinet Office said that in developing the new regime, the Government has been mindful of the potential impact on inflation, with an estimated impact on headline inflation expected to stand at less than 0.2% across three years.
“Throughout this we have been mindful of the impact of inflation, but I am not aware of any plans to move beyond the dates we have set out. We are introducing a sufficient time to enable businesses and those affected to plan,” the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said. “By making maximum use of data and new technologies, our innovative yet risk-based approach is key to delivering a world-class border system.
