DEFRA Consultation: Charging arrangements at government-run Border Control Posts

  • Friday 07 July 2023

Our members are strongly opposed to these proposed charges and approach given the impact on inflation, businesses, and trade. We have encouraged our members to respond on an individual basis to this consultation but collectively their key concerns can be summarised under the following areas:
• Lack of sufficient detail
• Need for greater transparency in cost modelling
• Inflationary impact
• Disproportionate impact on smaller operators
• Supply chain disruption and market distortion
• Potentially anti-competitive or discriminatory impact
