Starting April 30, 2024, new import controls will be in place. If you're bringing in medium-risk animal products, plants, plant products, or high-risk food and feed from the EU/EFTA, be prepared for documentary and physical checks. Remember to ensure your goods arrive at designated Border Control Posts (BCPs) or Control Points (CPs) and be ready for inspections there. Additionally, changes are coming for imports from non-EU/EFTA countries, so stay informed and direct urgent queries to your Port Health Authority (PHA). Don't forget about the common user charge for certain imports entering or transiting through Great Britain—make sure you're aware of these changes to avoid any surprises!

Brexit is like adding fuel to the fire in Northern Ireland. Before the UK leaves the EU, trade between Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Ireland will still be able to flow normally. After the UK leaves the EU, how to solve the flow of goods within Northern Ireland has become an important issue. Establishing customs at the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland or setting up customs at the seaport from Northern Ireland to the British island will intensify local conflicts. However, the ongoing legislation is slowly improving the situation. In addition to opening a green channel for goods sold from the United Kingdom to Northern Ireland, the "not for EU" label system, which was originally only implemented in Northern Ireland, will be promoted in the future. to other parts of the UK.
