UK's Post-Brexit Border Checks: Balancing Security and Trade Flow
The Cold Chain Federation has warned that the UK government's plans for post-Brexit border checks on goods coming into the country will deter many EU suppliers and push up food prices. The Cabinet Office said its proposals would prevent delays by reducing the need for physical checks for many goods. However, the trade body said it was "deeply concerned" by the complex forms and costs involved for exporters. The government will spend six weeks consulting with businesses before publishing a final model for trade checks later in the year.
