and when will checks be introduced?

Free webinar recording


In August 2023, following months of consultation with industry, the UK government published the final plan for implementing import controls on goods entering Great Britain (GB). This includes a new timeline for introducing sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) controls on animals, animal products, plants and plant products from the EU.

In our The official Border Target Operating Model – what’s changed and when will checks be introduced? webinar recording, the customs and trade experts at The Institute of Export & International Trade (IOE&IT) discuss the now-confirmed approach to introducing import controls and when they are now being scheduled to come into effect. This includes an updated overview of the risk categorisations for SPS-controlled goods.

This 1-hour webinar covers:


  • A recap of what’s in the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM)

  • When checks are being scheduled to be introduced

  • The risk categorisations for goods subject to SPS checks

  • How checks and controls vary according to these risk categories
