It extends to 1st July 2022 the expiry date for the waiver of the requirement to lodge an entry summary declaration for goods coming from the EU and other countries for which a declaration was not required before the UK’s exit from the EU.

An impact assessment is not required for provisions in force for less than 12 months.
