The head of an industry committee says plans for the system of transporting goods after Brexit have been left to the last minute.

The number of declarations that will now need to be handled is likely to increase from around 55 milion per year up to more than 300 million.

"The trade membership is concerned about the quality of consultation with HMRC in preparation for a potential no-deal departure from the EU," it said."We are collectively of the opinion that members are not ready for a no-deal exit." "If we ended up leaving on 12 April, HMRC would be ready with their infrastructure and computer systems, but the problem would be everything that goes on round that - the way that the information gets put into the system.Mr MacSwiney's views are significant within the industry, not least because of his close ties with HMRC.

He said:"When Brexit first happened, the industry wanted a three-year transition period and we said that three years of planning would be a minimum."The problem for us will be dealing with the huge increase in declarations and the only way to cope with that is more automation."The process can be very time-consuming and there is a lot to get through."

You are talking absolute rubbish yet again sky. If France and Germany are ready for it so are GB. Stop being pathetic sad sad sky.

Fancy sharing this news a week after we should have had Brexit

We will sort it.

Why not you’ve had two years to get sorted

Could that be, because they were to busy plotting to scupper the entire thing. I wouldn't trust them morons in parliament to watch my kids, even if I was desperate.

It’s difficult to plan for an unidentified outcome. HMRC have released little info of how CHIEF will be configured as they simply don’t know yet.

Not as if this all happened yesterday now is it

Yes it is get on with it

Why not they have had nearly four years

More perception deception from the home of fake news.

Then the industry need sacking load of twats. You just employ import and export clerks do a couple of bills of lading it’s a piece of pi**.

Not ready because government never had any intention of leaving

Bull dung

They’ve had enough time. They’ve had exactly the amount of time they claim they need. 3 years.

For goodness sake SKY have you no idea what good news is, stop scaremongering people are getting sick of it. Get a life.

Tough shit. Get ready!

Yet more ProjectFear clap-trap! - You news outlets never learn do you, Everything coming out of news is NEGATIVITY about leaving the EUHITLERDICTATORSHIP - When are you going to start reporting on the POSITIVES? - Stop being SO NEGATIVE!

What brexit

How can we possibly be when the Tories are still arguing over what form brexit should take

That’s not what you told us before Sky News..if you’re going to tell lies, try and make sure that the information balances with what you broadcast the previous week..🙄..

Dont know why they are worried cos we aint going anywhere by the looks.

All getting on the Blamexit excuse... Theyve had enought time to sort themeselves, and now theyve got a bit more time.... 🤔

Well their obviously incompetent idiots who want sscking'if their not ready after nearly 3 years.

That's too bad because we are!

LeaveHQ More Skymongering

Irrelevant, a vote was held years ago and the majority voted to leave the eu. THE U.K. MUST LEAVE OR DEMOCRACY IS DEAD!

They shouldn’t be in the job if they can’t make ready in three years. Who was arranging it? The tories? theresa_may

givethemtheirP45s perhaps it is not just the politicians that need to go. Find out Who has been in charge for the past 3 years sack them and make sure they lose their gold plated non contributory pensions

MexicoRS78 Sak the lot incompetent fools

Cue the ignorant shouts of 'Project Fear'

can you tell - who is? anywhere?

Yes they are, project fear again

But this is it.. you've had years to prepare for this and you've done nothing. Idiots we need a far right government immediately.

You’re telling me they are not ready after nearly 3 years? Pathetic! Get your act together unless this is more fake news from Sky news?!

We are ready, coiled springs for some months.......more bow locks from

That's not what the head man at the Port of Diver said the other week. Watch Food unwrapped Brexit special from the other week.

Well it should be, we’ve had 3 friggin years.

This feels like campaigning to me, for weeks all I see is one sided reports for Remain , noone can say with 100% conviction what will happen under a NoDealBrexit because we have not experienced it yet !!BeBalanced

Really!!!!

And they never will be unless we get on and leave? People deliberately dragging their heels in the hope brexit won't happen

Tough luck you've had nearly 3 years notice...... imbeciles

Sorted out the ferry situation yet?

Why not?

Is that news?

Don't worry neither are the government

Tough!

Well it should have got ready.

fake democracy

Well they’ve had nearly 3 years now... this is the fault of the executives + Government

Neither is Theresa
