Details

These measures extend staged customs controls for goods that are in Ireland or, where applicable, Northern Ireland immediately before their importation into Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).

Changes have also been made to make sure that VAT registered businesses using staged customs controls still have to account for import VAT as appropriate in the VAT return for the period in which the import takes place.
