The UK is introducing new customs and SPS requirements on all goods being imported into Britain starting 31 January 2024, as part of its new Border Target Operating Model .
There are three important changes that will apply to Irish traders:
- Pre-notification requirements for live animals and animal products and high and medium risk category plant products;
- Full customs controls;
- Health certification on medium risk animal products, plants, plant products and high risk food and feed of non-animal origin.
These new rules will impact you if you export goods to Great Britain or via the UK landbridge to the rest of Europe.
These new UK rules will be in addition to the existing formalities that apply when exporting goods from the EU.
