Brexit border checks on fruit and vegetable imports from EU scrapped
The UK government will scrap planned border checks on Fruit and Vegetable imports from the EU, preventing the measures from taking effect on July 1. The decision, attributed to what the government calls Sir Keir Starmer's Brexit reset deal, is expected to save businesses approximately £200 million in additional supply chain costs. The new SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary) deal with the EU will eliminate routine border checks for food exports and imports on certain products. Impending checks on 'medium-risk' Fruit and vegetables, such as tomatoes, grapes, plums, cherries, peaches and peppers, will now not be introduced. Biosecurity minister Baroness Hayman said the Government's EU deal will make food cheaper, slash bureaucracy and remove cumbersome border controls for businesses.
