<p>Defra is confident that existing and new BCP infrastructure will have sufficient
capacity and capability to handle the volume of expected checks outlined in the Border
Target Operating Model (BTOM), with robust, dynamic, and effective operational measures
ready to call upon if needed.</p><p> </p><p>Defra will continue to work with existing
BCP operators to ensure they are prepared, and the Government has built new infrastructure
at critical locations.</p><p> </p><p>Operators have not expressed concerns regarding
under-capacity, we are therefore not anticipating queues but will continue working
closely with operators to address any concerns they may have.</p><p> </p><p>The common
user charge for BCP operating costs applies only to UK government-run BCPs. Commercial
operators will independently set BCP charges for their own facilities.</p><p> </p><p>The
impact of the Common User Charge (CUC) on businesses of all sizes will be kept under
monthly and quarterly reviews, with rates reviewed and updated annually.</p><p> </p><p>Full
details of the CUC can be found on GOV.UK.</p>
