On August 29, 2023, the United Kingdom (UK) released the definitive version of its Border Target Operating Model (TOM). This document outlines the government’s plans for establishing a distinct border control system.
The new TOM details import requirements for a wide range of items, including plants and plant products, animals and animal products, as well as foodstuffs. From January 31, 2024, all exporters sending goods to the UK categorized as medium risk must follow the procedures laid out in the TOM. The UK government will enforce compliance with these regulations. The original document can be accessed on the DEFRA website.

Experts from various Dutch supervisory authorities are expected to take a few days to assess the implications of the TOM for Dutch businesses and government services. A more detailed preliminary evaluation of the changes is anticipated within the next few days. The Customs authority will provide updates to all interested parties as soon as more insights are available.
