The UK confirmed on Tuesday that pressures caused by the pandemic and global supply chain issues would slow post-Brexit management on imports.
This is now the second time import control has been pushed back.

After leaving the EU’s single market at the end of 2020, the UK gradually introduced import checks, and the EU quickly introduced import checks.
“We want businesses to focus on recovering from the pandemic rather than addressing new requirements at borders. So we have set up a practical new schedule for implementing full border controls. “We did,” said Brexit Minister David Frost.
“Business will have more time to prepare for these controls that will be step-by-step through 2022.”
The NFU National Farmers Union says new barriers to trade will not solve the UK’s food shortage.
The Food and Drink Federation added that all major supermarkets importing fruits and vegetables from the EU have been prepared for paperwork.
