This will start on 30 March 2019 and last until 31 December 2020. During the implementation period, the UK will no longer be a Member State of the European Union, but market access will continue on current terms. Common rules will remain in place until the end of the period meaning businesses will be able to trade on the same terms as now up until the end of 2020.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government recognises the importance to the country’s economy for trade fluidity through the UK’s key ports. We want to ensure that traders, intermediaries and freight forwarders can continue to move goods through ports as quickly and seamlessly as they do now. We have set up a Border Delivery Group to bring together individual departmental plans, forming an overall picture and plan of what we need to do at borders.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 24/07/2018 11:08:48 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
