Import controls postponed
After Brexit, UK has postponed the introduction of some import controls on goods coming from the EU territory. Some of these were expected to be introduced as from July 2022, however, these have been postponed again.
Some of these import controls are Safety and Security declarations, further health certification and SPS checks, prohibition, and restrictions in the import of chilled meats from the EU.
