In this week’s EU exit corner, we bring you the latest guidance updates and publications relevant to EU exit. The most recent Trader Support Service bulletin is also available as is the latest Brexit and Beyond newsletter from the Northern Ireland Assembly EU Affairs Team. HMRC has sent an email setting out an update on the implementation of the Windsor Framework which confirms that the next step in the Windsor Framework (WF) has been delayed until 31 March 2025 hence the new arrangements for parcels and freight movements will now not take effect from next week. From 31 March 2025 (and not 30 September 2024), the green lane will broaden to all UK Internal Market Scheme authorised traders. Full international customs requirements for traders will be removed and simplified procedures will apply. This will specifically affect parcels moving from GB to NI. However, the next step in labelling requirements under the Northern Ireland Retail Movement Scheme will commence from 1 October 2024. We also set out the next phase in the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM).
Next phase in BTOM
As we approach the end of September, it is now just a short time before the next stage in the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) commences.
From 31 October 2024, phase three of the BTOM commences. From this date, safety and security declarations for EU imports into the UK will come into force. Alongside this, the UK will introduce a reduced dataset for imports. The goal is to reduce duplication in customs declarations.
More information and guidance from the UK Government has also been published on the next stage in the WF as follows:
