HM Revenue & Customs and HM Treasury have issued a
consultation on how to improve the UK’s customs system by
simplifying processes for traders and embracing innovation.
This consultation closes at
11:45pm on 2 May 2022
Consultation description
This call for evidence invites respondents’ views on:
- the customs intermediary sector
- the Simplified Customs Declaration Process (SCDP)
- the Transit facilitation
By taking a fresh look at the fundamental building blocks of the
UK’s customs system, the government wants to use this opportunity
to gather and consider a wide range of evidence on how the
customs system is working and changes that could be made to make
it simpler, easier and more responsive to stakeholders’ needs.
This evidence will support changes to policy or processes to make
it easier for traders to navigate the UK’s customs system.
The government welcomes engagement from any individual or
business with views on the future of the UK’s customs regime.
This call for evidence is likely to be of most interest to
traders, intermediaries, freight forwarders, fast parcels
operators and hauliers, and will also be of interest to business
representative organisations, trade bodies or customs
consultancies that help traders with their customs affairs.
Respondents may choose to respond to some or all of the questions
in this document. HMRC and HM Treasury welcome
partial responses, focused on the aspects of the customs regime
that are most relevant to the respondent.
HMRC and HM Treasury will host a webinar on 2 March at 15.30 to
introduce the Call for Evidence, give guidance about how to
reply, and answer your questions. You can sign up for
this event in advance.
