Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
Good news for importers.

UK in U-turn on full post-Brexit border controls
Temporary light-touch customs regime planned with pressure from business not to compound Covid-19 chaos
In a significant policy U-turn, Michael Gove, the Cabinet Office minister, has accepted that businesses cannot be expected to cope with Covid-19 and simultaneously face the prospect of disruption at the border at the end of the post-Brexit transition period.
Instead of full checks, the government will now introduce a temporary light-touch regime at UK ports like Dover for incoming EU goods, under both a deal and “no-deal” scenario.
However, officials concede that goods flowing to the EU from the UK are likely to face full checks as they enter France.
