Import Controls Delayed

The UK Government has announced that it will delay a host of border red tape for EU imports from October and January 2022 until July 2022.

New export health certificates, which were originally due to be required from October will now come into force in July next year. Physical checks on products of animal origin, including food and plants, which require Border Control Posts, will now not be enforced until July next year too.

Other security-focused checks will now also be delayed until July 2022.
