Overview Resources

The UK Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) sets out country’s plans for implementing full border controls following its exit from the EU on 31 December 2020. It represents a comprehensive review of the way in which Customs controls and systems work. The development of BTOM took longer than originally expected, but was finally published in August 2023. The implementation timelines extend for several years, but the tangible commencement is  January 31st 2024. In the course of 2024, most of the easements and “workarounds” used since 2021 will disappear. In the EU, full Customs requirements were applied on 1/1/2021, so importers from the UK will not notice any major change. For exporters to the UK, however, there will be major new challenges. Already, UK commentary suggests that there will be difficulty for UK importers, especially of fresh food.

Watch the overview of the upcoming changes. This is a recording of a webinar that was held on 18/01/2024. Please find slides in the resources.

16-06-2024

On 14 May, U.S. President Joe Biden placed a 100% tariff duty rate on imports of Chinese Electric Vehicles (EVs).

Compliant on Forced Labor? Prove It: the Expansion of U.S. Anti-Forced Labor Laws and Compliance Requirements for Importers
21-01-2024

Forced labor is on the rise worldwide. The United States is one of the largest importers of merchandise at risk of being produced with forced labor and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) … is committed to identifying products made with forced labor and preventing them from entering the United States. From FY 2022 to date, CBP’s forced labor enforcement has impacted over $ 2 billion worth of shipments. Clearly, companies have a lot at stake, and compliance with anti-forced labor requirements is critical not only from a corporate responsibility standpoint but due to the impact it may have on a company’s financial position.
