What the UK Border Target Operating Model means for EU and UK trade

Now that the Border Target Operating Model has been officially issued, EU and UK businesses can and indeed must prepare in line with the changes announced. This webinar record (the webinar took place on 7.9.2023) will provide you with details on what you need to do to get ready to continue to trade effectively.

The emphasis of the webinar is on the EU business (the perspective of the EU exporter). Businesses based in the EU can now prepare with greater certainty on the requirements that will be needed and will depend on the nature of the goods you export.

The webinar is designed for all the supply chain participants, involved in customs formalities of goods crossing UK-EU border.

Topics

• Key requirements arising from the BTOM
• Considerations for the EU exporter
• Considerations for the UK importer
• Specific implications for SPS goods
• Specific implications for Ireland: UK trade
• Concept of Trusted Trader
