BRITAIN will suspend post-Brexit customs checks on imports coming from the European Union to speed supplies this summer, reports Bloomberg.
Border inspections of food products will also be delayed and firms will not have to file customs declarations on EU imports until 2022 instead of July this year, it was announced.
"We have listened to businesses who have made a strong case that they need more time to prepare," Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove told the Commons. "We have given strong weight to the disruption which has been caused, and is still being caused by Covid."
In contrast, the EU imposed full customs controls on British exports to the bloc, causing delays to shipments, lost revenue for businesses, and a decline in freight volumes.
