UK Delays Final Stage of Post-Brexit Border Rollout

The UK government has extended the waiver on safety and security certificates for goods entering from the EU by three months, now set to end on January 31, 2025. This decision delays the final stage of the post-Brexit border rollout and has drawn criticism from traders who cite a lack of clear guidance and financial implications. The extension affects the implementation of the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM), with previous stages introducing health certificates in January and physical checks in April.
