Read our privacy policy The government has announced that it will delay a host of border red tape for EU imports from October and January next year until July 2022. As late as Thursday last week, the government was suggesting that businesses should still prepare for the already delayed deadlines for new paperwork from October and physical checks in January. As recently as yesterday, officials assured us that import checks would be implemented as planned.” He added: “The repeated failure to implement full UK border controls on EU imports since 1 January 2021 undermines trust and confidence among businesses. The asymmetric nature of border controls facing exports and imports distorts the market and places many UK producers at a competitive disadvantage with EU producers.” Stressed supply chains will not be fixed by delaying border checks alone, the FDF and other industry groups have warned.
