Post-Brexit checks on goods coming to the UK from the EU are to be streamlined, Sky News understands.
A Cabinet Office source told Sky News a new model will be announced later on Wednesday to"reduce the need for checks for many types of goods".
The government has delayed putting in place the checks four times, which are legally required under the Brexit trade deal with the EU. But details of the new customs and regulatory process have now been agreed and will be introduced later this year. "The government is delivering on our ambition to have the world's most effective border," the source said."We are working with stakeholders and are taking a pragmatic approach to phasing in these controls to give business the opportunity to prepare."
