Exclusive: the U.K. is starting research on its new post-Brexit customs IT system, 4 months before it& #39;s due to go live https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-27/u-k-starts-research-on-brexit-customs-system-due-in-four-months?sref=yMmXm5Iy">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti... 1/
In an HMRC memo seen by Bloomberg, hauliers have been invited to take part in remote testing as part of `user research& #39; for the `Goods Vehicle Movement Service& #39; - which will police cross-Irish Sea trade from January and all UK-EU goods flow from July 2/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-29/after-brexit-lorries-set-to-need-taxman-s-permission-to-move?sref=yMmXm5Iy">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...
HMRC wants to conduct the research `ASAP& #39; according to the memo, and is aiming to do 5-6 rounds of testing via video call in the coming months 3/
Trade and Borders consultancy founder @AnnaJerzewska says it would& #39;ve been better to invite hauliers in earlier in the design process - and in any event, she expects the GVMS won& #39;t be ready by January 1st, so alternatives will be needed 4/

The tight timeframes are a cause for concern in the logistics industry. One freight forwarder, speaking under anonymity, said they& #39;re worried the system won& #39;t be ready in time 6/
HMRC said it& #39;s important to work with the freight industry on the design - here& #39;s their statement 7/
So less than 90 working days before it& #39;s due to launch, and more than 4 years on from the Brexit referendum, HMRC is at the research and design phase of a key post-Brexit customs IT system.
