Within the Budget announcement, Rishi Sunak has included a commitment on customs design including:
• £180m (section reference 2.190) to build a UK Single Trade Window, streamlining trader interactions with border agencies
• £838m (section reference 4.109) over the three years to 2024-25 to complete the delivery of critical customs IT, including the new Customs Declaration Service.
HMRC is committed to co-designing solutions with trade, including consultation on three elements of the customs system:
• Declarations processes
• The Intermediaries market, and
• Transit facilitation (section reference 2.191)
The Department has said that this will include calls for evidence to seek the views and expertise of industry and the public to understand their experience of the customs system and help shape future customs policy.
