The draft Border Target Operating Model proposes a new approach to security controls (applying to all imports), and sanitary and phytosanitary controls (applying to imports of live animals, animal products, plants and plants products) at the border. It sets out how controls will be simplified, digitised and, over time, delivered through the UKs new Single Trade Window. The document was developed through engagement with stakeholders, collaboration across the UK, Scottish and Welsh Governments, and engagement with officials from the devolved administration in Northern Ireland. Following its publication, it has been extensively tested during an engagement period with stakeholders, culminating in the final Border Target Operating Model, published on 29 August 2023.
