The UK Government has published a document setting out the final plans for a new Border Target Operating Model that incorporates and responds to feedback from stakeholders.
The final Border Target Operating Model sets out a new approach to security controls (applying to all imports), and sanitary and phytosanitary controls (applying to imports of live animals, animal products, plants and plants products) at the border. It sets out how controls will be simplified and digitised, and our ambition for the UK’s new Single Trade Window.
The new approach to importing goods into Great Britain will be progressively introduced from the end of January 2024.
