<p>In the event of leaving the EU without a deal, HMRC’s plans allow for the border
to operate without significant new infrastructure. In preparation for an April no
deal, HMRC announced a number of easements to help businesses adjust to the new arrangements
and developed temporary solutions to support transit movements at a small number of
locations to address expected pressure on existing infrastructure. HMRC worked closely
with Department for Transport and local agencies to expand capacity in Kent, including
