Businesses trading into or out of the UK face a period of intense regulatory change in 2024 and beyond, with a wave of new rules coming into force. It is essential you stay ahead of these developments and keep up to date with the new rules.

You will need to know what's changing and when as well as understand how it may affect your processes. Your business will need to grapple with the introduction of the UK’s Border Target Operating Model (BTOM), a new IT platform for transit users, the migration to the new Customs Declaration Service (CDS) for exporters and new customs rules from the EU, among other changes.

Marco Forgione says:

More than 70% of the businesses with whom we have spoken to remain concerned about potential teething problems and issues which will impact prices and availability. Small firms in particular have also reported mixed levels of awareness and understanding.
