We also estimate a total of up to 4.5m consignments that are imported into the UK from the EU will be subject to Sanitary and Phytosanitary requirements. These requirements depend on the risk of the commodity within the consignment as outlined in the published Border Target Operating Model.</p><p> </p><p>These estimates are based on data sourced from a range of government agencies, including Safety and Security declarations for non-EU trade, customs declaration data and transit data. The Government will continue to assess the latest estimates based on more recent data.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 29/01/2024 17:33:15 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart

It sets out that suppliers should expect a fair return for the goods and services they provide. The Sourcing Playbook does not set out target profit margins as this is dependent on a range of factors, including market competitiveness and the level of risk transfer.
