Customs Modernisation

This call for evidence seeks views on the future of international trade and the impacts of digitalised and modernised trading practices on the UK customs regime. It focusses on 3 areas:

1. the future of international trade and its impacts on commercial operations and the UK customs regime
2. the future of customs data and how the UK customs model aligns or could better align with digitalised business operations
3. whether the UK’s approach to customs authorisations supports a modernised trading world, now and into the future

Respondents should focus on these topics rather than more general improvements to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) systems and processes.

HMRC and HM Treasury are keen to collaborate with a wide range of stakeholder on this call for evidence. We will be holding a webinar on 1 July, where we will present the call for evidence, its aims and how you can respond. You will be able to ask any questions about the call for evidence to support you responding. You can access the link to the webinar here.
