Information is being shared through a series of live and virtual engagement events and communications detailing actions required. Online guidance is available on GOV.UK. The UK CVO has also written to the European Commission and EU counterparts providing updates on the BTOM implementation. Ultimately it is for the Competent Authority of the exporting country to advise their Official Veterinarians of the checks required, just as we do for Official Vets signing Export Health Certificates for consignments going from the UK.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 19/03/2024 15:04:42 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2024 answer text <p>Defra consulted last year on the proposed Common User Charge (CUC) to recover operating costs at Government-run Border Control Posts (BCPs). It invited views on the principles, methodology and indicative rates for the CUC to determine fair and reasonable charges. Defra will use feedback to inform the final policy, which we expect to publish shortly. Port Health Authorities (PHAs) have charging mechanisms in place for covering the costs of checking sanitary and phytosanitary consignments, and the Government, in conjunction with devolved administrations, is working with PHAs to review fee levels and support the implementation of new checks of imports from the EU in early 2024.</p><p> </p><p>Commercial BCP fees are a business decision for the operators of those sites.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 19/03/2024 15:01:08 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what the process will be for importers to derogate the 24-hour notification process for medium-risk goods to four hours under the Border Target Operating Model.
tabling member constituency	Walthamstow
tabling member printed	Stella Creasy
uin	17738
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2024 answer text <p>The requirement for IPAFFS (Import of products, animals, food and feed system) prenotifications to be submitted one working day ahead of an animal product consignment’s arrival in GB is an existing requirement for goods from the EU, excluding goods from the island of Ireland. The requirement will remain as is from 31 January for those EU goods it currently applies to, and will be introduced for EU and non-qualifying Northern Ireland goods from the island of Ireland. The way in which this requirement will be enforced will also remain unchanged from now in the January-April period. This aligns with our wider approach to implementation. From the point that controls at the border are introduced, importers will be able to contact Port Health Authorities (PHAs) to request a derogation to reduce the pre-notification window to a minimum of four hours. It may be possible to negotiate a global derogation for certain routes with the PHA, benefiting regular shipments on these paths. However, this would need to be based on agreement with the relevant PHA.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 19/03/2024 14:56:41 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
