HMRC and the Treasury have published a consultation on how the customs system is working and what improvements could be made in areas such as the customs declaration process, working with customs intermediaries and transit facilitation.
Any individual or business with views on the future of the UK’s customs regime are invited to respond but it will likely be of most interest to:
- traders
- intermediaries
- freight forwarders
- fast parcels operators
- hauliers
- business representative organisations
- trade bodies
- customs consultancies that help traders with their customs affairs
Some aspects of the customs regime may be more relevant to the respondent than others therefore HMRC and HM Treasury also welcome partial responses.
The consultation can be found here and will end on 2nd May 2022.
The government will publish a summary of responses shortly after the consultation closes. Evidence submitted will be considered as part of the customs policy-making process, and this may lead to further consultation in the future.
