IN RESPONSE to the government announcement of a delay to customs and parcel changes that were set to come into effect from 30 September under the Windsor Framework, Nichola Mallon, head of trade at business group Logistics UK said the logistics industry is relieved that this deadline is extended: “Despite best efforts, it was practically impossible for logistics businesses to be ready to meet the 30 September deadline which is why Logistics UK pressed government for this delay.
“It is heartening to see that the concerns of logistics businesses have been taken into account by the government and this announcement is welcome.
“However, for this delay to be productive, we need to see a step change in the government’s communication with, and support to, traders and hauliers moving goods from GB to Northern Ireland.”
