The government have released a Written Ministerial Statement this morning outlining that the remaining import controls on EU goods will no longer be introduced this year. What this means for our members and clients is any preparations they were making for the changes in July can be postponed.

The government have released a Written Ministerial Statement this morning outlining that the remaining import controls on EU goods will no longer be introduced this year.

Instead, traders will continue to move their goods from the EU to GB as they do now.

There is no indication of when the import controls will be introduced.


Government have confirmed that work will continue with industry to assess how a safe, secure and efficient process for dealing with EU imports can be created. This will build on existing work already taking place, including the UK Single Trade Window which teams in HMRC have been working hard to deliver as part of the 2025 Border Strategy.


What this means for our members and clients is any preparations they were making for the changes in July can be postponed. We will keep you updated as the information comes to us about what you need to do as a business when trading with the EU.
