New streamlined post-Brexit checks on goods coming to the UK from the EU were finally being unveiled today — more than two years after Britain left the EU single market and customs union.
The Government has delayed the introduction of the checks four times in a bid to ease cost pressures on consumers and businesses already being hit by post-Covid supply chain issues and the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But the Cabinet Office confirmed today that the trade checks are set to come into force later this year.
