With respect to goods subject to sanitary and phytosanitary rules, market surveillance and enforcement activities will further enhance the specific procedures set out in the applicable rules for the entry of those goods into Northern Ireland.
In addition, the United Kingdom will reinforce its monitoring and enforcement activity to effectively manage the risks stemming from goods moved by parcel, recognising the particular reliance placed by consumers on those movements.
The United Kingdom will also maintain its strong regime of penalties for illegal trading and smuggling activities.
This will be kept under close review, with a view to increasing penalties relating to the abuse of these new rules by moving goods into the European Union if necessary to provide a further deterrent.
The United Kingdom will take effective, dissuasive and proportionate action in relation to potential non-compliance.
This will include risk analysis, risk-based compliance action and ongoing risk assessments of trader populations, underpinned by sanctions and penalties.
