Today on newsletter.co.uk, they published a leak of the complicated plan for how goods will have to go through in crossing the Irish Sea.

“In the majority of cases TSS will use CFSP simplified customs procedures to reduce port processing times. The ENS (safety and security) declaration is used to initiate the frontier process and generate the SFD (Simplified Frontier Declaration). Hauliers visit the TSS portal to enter basic load information, TSS auto-generates the ENS and returns the MRN (Movement Reference Number) to the user.

“By enriching this data with information provided during the registration process TSS also generates the SFD and passes this additional MRN back to the user thus enabling them to obtain their GMR (Goods Movement Record).

“The final customs declaration (supplementary declaration) takes place after the goods have arrived and without the haulier needing to fully complete customs processes prior to delivery.”

And this is a two year plan, in which the Trader Support Scheme (TSS) will cost £200 million, or £100 million a year to run.

It is up to you, dear readrer, to decide if this matches the Government's description of "unfettered access".
