Disruptions at Channel Ports
We are hearing of a number of emerging issues at channel ports causing delays and disruptions to shipments. This may be a reflection of increasing volumes as activity returns to normal after Christmas, and the bedding in of new customs arrangements.
It is important and would be extremely helpful if any specific issues could be logged in as much detail as possible with the Border and Protocol Delivery Group:
bpdg.enquiries@cabinetoffice.gov.uk.
BPDG also runs a forum which contains a daily Q&A relating to such issues, whilst there is a 24 hour helpline on customs and international trade provided by HMRC: 0300 322 9434.
Additionally, for those moving goods of animal origin, you may find two webinars being held on Thursday helpful. One is run by BPDG, whilst the other by the Irish Government.
