Brexit: Government to handle import checks for Northern Irish businesses - Business Insider

David Nash/Barcroft Media via Getty ImagesBoris Johnson's government is procuring a new system costing up to £200 million that will carry out customs declarations on behalf of businesses importing goods across the Irish Sea.

The UK government is procuring a system called the Trader Support Service, which will handle customs declarations on behalf of Northern Irish companies importing goods from Great Britain and the rest of the world from January next year, effectively picking up the customs bill for Northern Irish companies bringing in goods across the Irish Sea.

With just five months left until the Northern Ireland protocol comes into effect, there is growing alarm in the province that time is running out for firms to prepare for the new processes and red tape it entails. As well as the contract worth up to £200 million, the UK government has announced £150 million to fund the IT systems that will underpin the service, as well as £300 million for peace programmes across the island of Ireland.

Manufacturing Northern Ireland's Stephen Kelly said the UK government's "commitment to cover the Customs costs is very welcome first step" but several issues remained, including "resolving SPS checks, VAT and legislating to protect our position in the UK market."

'Boris Johnson's UK government is building a £200 million system to handle customs declarations for Northern Irish businesses after Brexit' .... finish the sentence... 'That will be scrapped when it's found to not work as intended following a non-competitive bid by a tory donor'
