The pilot focussed on building a single \u2018permissioned\u2019 Blockchain that could be used to inform a trader\u2019s \u2018Authorised Economic Operator\u2019 status. The proof of concept ran for six weeks, and established that government could use Blockchain to securely share the results of sensitive risk checks to improve the efficiencies of certain customs processes.<\/p>
<\/p>
Any significant implementation of Blockchain would require significant further work by HMRC. Further work on the application of Blockchain to \u2018Authorised Economic Operator\u2019 status is deferred until after the UK leaves the EU when timescales and cost will be revisited.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are working with the cross government Future Borders Programme to progress the pilot as part of their Trusted Trader initiative<\/p>
