question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has made an assessment of the potential effect on the adequacy of control over goods entering the UK of the proposed system for deferred declarations in locations without an existing control system.
tabling member constituency	Sheffield Central
tabling member printed	Paul Blomfield
uin	77593
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2020 answer text <p>The Government’s priority is to keep goods moving and avoid delays at the border. As the customs authority, HMRC will act to ensure that border processes are as smooth as possible, without compromising security. From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021 most traders importing non-controlled goods will be able to defer customs declarations for 180 days. Like importers of controlled goods, traders with a poor compliance record will not be allowed to defer declarations and must complete full customs declarations at the time of import.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC is planning a package of activities to support and educate traders on their obligations during this period. HMRC will promote the keeping of good records, which will be crucial in minimising losses to error once supplementary declarations are made. HMRC will also have the power to ask for a trader’s records to check that they have made adequate entries.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC has existing tools in place to tackle non-compliance. These tools include risk-based pre- and post-clearance checks, regular monitoring of high-risk traders and their supply chains and providing education to traders on risks and issues identified. Traders or individuals with a poor compliance history will be contacted by HMRC and will be instructed that they will not be able to defer declarations. The Government will publish further information on what constitutes a poor compliance history soon.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 77595 question first answered 01/09/2020 14:48:24 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
