Government must be smart about speeding up border readiness, says Logistics UK

Lack of pace in some government preparations for the end of the Brexit transition period could put the UK’s interconnected supply chain at risk, according to Logistics UK, the business group which represents the sector.  While some of the systems being developed to manage the flow of goods and border processes are making good progress, the industry is concerned that the new Smart Freight system – which will need to be used by every company involved in exporting goods to the EU – will not be ready in time for adequate testing and staff training.
