Overview Resources

The UK Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) sets out country’s plans for implementing full border controls following its exit from the EU on 31 December 2020. It represents a comprehensive review of the way in which Customs controls and systems work. The development of BTOM took longer than originally expected, but was finally published in August 2023. The implementation timelines extend for several years, but the tangible commencement is  January 31st 2024. In the course of 2024, most of the easements and “workarounds” used since 2021 will disappear. In the EU, full Customs requirements were applied on 1/1/2021, so importers from the UK will not notice any major change. For exporters to the UK, however, there will be major new challenges. Already, UK commentary suggests that there will be difficulty for UK importers, especially of fresh food.

Watch the overview of the upcoming changes. This is a recording of a webinar that was held on 18/01/2024. Please find slides in the resources.

Fur coat? Not in Israel
15-09-2024

The import of furs of wildlife into the State of Israel is under a strict supervision of the Nature and Parks Authority, which is department of the Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection. … This is part of a larger issue of importing animals or parts of them, but in this article we will focus on the import of furs into Israel. It’s an interesting example, which we believe is not common elsewhere, due to a very specific piece of Israeli law. This law forbids importing wildlife fur, unless they meet the conditions of one of a very few exceptions. One of the key exceptions is fur for religious purposes. The Israeli Customs Authority, which is authorized to supervise imports, serves as the Nature Authority long arm to check the compliance of imports when a shipment containing animal fur arrives in Israel.

Importing chemicals: CJEU rules who bears the burden of administrative work
10-07-2024

Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation is the EU’s main instrument to protect human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed … by chemicals. The legislation places a registration obligation on the importer. However, the definitions of the importer and import under the REACH legislation do not align with the customs terminology. The article demonstrates what happens when discrepancies arise.

U.S. tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and their effects
16-06-2024

On 14 May, U.S. President Joe Biden placed a 100% tariff duty rate on imports of Chinese Electric Vehicles (EVs). The reasoning was that the low cost of Chinese EVs needs to be counterbalanced … by tariffs so that domestic manufacturers can compete fairly against Chinese imports. Editors’ note: For developments in the EU, see ‘EU law news June 2024’.

New General Product Safety Regulation: What should economic operators expect?
16-05-2024

Every year since 2003, the European Commission has published its annual report on Safety Gate, the European Rapid Alert System for dangerous non-food products. The reports cover the alerts identified … during the year and the measures taken by countries to eliminate or minimise the risks. It is worth noting that this system covers not only EU Member States, but also Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. In March, the annual report was published for 2023, with a record number of notifications, which emphasises the need to further mobilise efforts and improve tools to improve the safety of goods entering the European market. An important new tool – The General Product Safety Regulation - is discussed in this article.
