About the Border Target Operating Model
The draft Border Target Operating Model proposes 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, digitised and, over time, delivered through the UK’s new Single Trade Window.
New UK border controls will be introduced in three phases: 31 October 2023, 31 January 2024 and 31 October 2024. All three phases will have significant impacts for Irish exporters, but in particular the introduction of food, plant and animal health certificates on 31 October.
