- The Border Target Operating Model, published on August 29, 2023, introduces new controls to protect the UK against security and biosecurity threats and create a world-class border system for trade in goods.
- The model introduces a new global regime for security and biosecurity controls, including controls on imports from the EU for the first time and simplifying import controls on goods from across the globe.
- The controls will defend against plant and animal diseases from abroad, protect the agricultural industry and food supply chains, and assure trade partners of the quality of exports.
- The model makes smarter use of data and technology to ensure a more efficient trading experience for businesses and will save businesses around £520m per year.
- The Single Trade Window is another flagship border development that simplifies and streamlines import and export trade processes.
- The Border Target Operating Model has been developed following extensive engagement with the border industry and businesses across the UK, and in collaboration with the Scottish and Welsh Devolved Administrations.
