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 available. We remind you that the first phase of the UK’s Border Target Operating Model for imports into Great Britain commences later this week from 31 January 2024. And finally, the conclusions of last year’s 2023 Civil Society Forum (“CSF”) between the UK and the EU have been published (Chartered Accountants Ireland participates in the UK Domestic Advisory Group which feeds into the annual UK and CSF meeting).
UK Border Target Operating Model (“BTOM”) first phase commences from 31 January 2024
In just two days’ time, the UK’s BTOM commences when new border requirements come into effect when importing certain commodities, including some food, into Great Britain. This marks the start of the introduction of the UK’s new BTOM. Two reminder emails have been sent to us by the UK Government (one from HMRC and one sent on behalf of the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) setting out the changes in more detail. You can also read more about the first phase of the BTOM in an article in Accountancy Ireland’s Briefly.
