<p>The Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) sets out our new global regime of border
controls that makes better use of technology and data to reduce friction and the cost
of border controls for businesses and consumers when compared to the proposed July
2022 regime. It will create a radically simpler yet secure experience for traders
moving goods across the UK border.</p><p> </p><p>After engaging with stakeholders
and considering the implementation challenges they raised, alongside the need to manage
biosecurity risks, we have adapted the timeline we originally published in the draft
version of the BTOM to give businesses and their supply-chains more time to prepare.
Many goods, including more than 60% of animal product consignments, are now deemed
low risk and either not controlled at all or only subject to pre-notification, and
medium risk goods are subject to fewer physical checks than the EU’s regime.</p><p>
</p><p>Defra has also introduced several facilitations for groupage movements, as
well as developing our Certification Logistics Pilot. Those facilitations include:
relaxed official sealing requirements for animal products; greater flexibility in
transporting groupage loads; elimination of 'Either/Or' sections in health certificates;
the use of schedules allowing greater number of similar animal products under a single
export health certificate, and greater flexibilities in the pre-notification and import
declaration processes.</p><p> </p><p>All businesses will also benefit from the Single
Trade Window, a simple service gateway that serves as a single point of interaction
between businesses and UK border processes, submitting information to the Government
only once and in only one place ensuring administration costs are kept to a minimum.</p>
