Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) 4-week countdown and January webinars
5 Jan 2024
The countdown to new import controls from 31 January 2024, has officially begun. Prepare now to be compliant and avoid disruption to your business and supply chain. Changes include:
- The introduction of health certification on imports from the EU of medium risk animal products, plants and plant products
- The introduction of health certification on imports from the EU of high-risk food and feed of non-animal origin
- The introduction of new checks and controls when moving Irish goods (i.e., any goods other than Qualifying Northern Irish Goods) from Irish ports directly to Great Britain
3 Things to help and prepare you for the changes that are coming:
- Know your risk-category – use these online tools to find the risk category of your commodity
- Ensure that your EU supply chain is preparing to provide you with health certificates and/or phytosanitary certificates – find out more here
- Be ready to correctly submit your pre-notification in IPAFFS – attend a January training session or read our guidance
