LONDON (Reuters) – Britain has set out plans to simplify and speed up post-Brexit border checks after repeated delays that the government previously blamed on the COVID-19 pandemic and then the war in Ukraine.

The new model announced on Wednesday will be backed by more than 1 billion pounds ($1.25 billion) in spending and will cut the need for physical checks “for many types of goods”, a government statement said, adding that required checks will take place away from ports to prevent delays at the border.

Britain, which left the EU’s single market in January 2021, has delayed full implementation of border controls on several occasions because of worries about port disruption and COVID-19, and more recently the risk of adding to a cost-of-living crisis.

The government proposals [include a new “single trade](https://www.financedigest.com/ing-toughens-oil-and-gas-policy-to-include-trade-finance-midstream.html "ING toughens oil and gas policy to include trade finance, midstream") window” under which traders need only submit information once and in one place, which is expected to be fully operational by 2027.

It added that none of the additional checks or controls set out in the new model will apply to imports into Northern Ireland from the EU, providing Northern Ireland [traders with full access to the single market](https://www.financedigest.com/analysis-bond-traders-get-their-swagger-back-in-rate-obsessed-markets.html "Analysis-Bond traders get their swagger back in rate-obsessed markets").

The government said it will continue to work with traders, ports, port health officials, logistics, [transport and technology companies](https://www.financedigest.com/italys-eni-sets-up-sustainable-transport-services-company.html "Italy’s Eni sets up sustainable transport services company") on implementation of the new model.
