Alongside last year’s Spring Budget, the Treasury made a series of announcements relating to the modernisation of the UK’s customs processes.

On 7 December 2023, the government made a further string of announcements on its progress in delivering this ambition to streamline customs procedures to make trade easier and more accessible to UK businesses.
