New plan seeks to boost UK borders from animal disease threat
A new plan seeks to better protect UK animal health and agricultural productivity by strengthening borders against biosecurity threats and illegal imports.
The draft Border Target Operating Model, launched by the government, sets out a plan to realise the ambition of creating “the most effective border in the world”.
The proposed model aims to prevent delays at the border through a reduction in the need for physical checks for many types of goods.
It also seeks to ensure that checks take place away from ports where this is needed to allow traffic to flow freely.
To limit the burden on businesses, a proposed risk-based global model will use data and technology to simplify and streamline import trade processes.
Central to this proposed model is the new single trade window, delivered from 2023 to be fully operational by 2027.
