The UK's post-Brexit border arrangements have faced significant challenges, with IT system failures causing delays of up to 24 hours for perishable food shipments from the EU. The new system, intended to deliver time and efficiency savings, has instead resulted in chaos at the busiest border posts. Additionally, the cost of implementing these post-Brexit border controls is estimated to be at least £4.7 billion, with British businesses facing £7.5 billion a year in new costs due to increased red tape. The National Audit Office has highlighted that there is no clear timetable for when the promised 'world-leading' border system will be fully operational. The ALVS system, which connects information submitted to DEFRA, does not deal with food imports directly. The annual cost of border checks to UK firms is estimated at £470 million.
Britain's post-Brexit border has cost £4.7bn & still isn't ready, repeated delays have brought additional costs & burdens for business & there's no timetable for when the promised "world-leading" frontier will be delivered. @NAOorguk report here https://t.co/OC6OXWprIv

Oh look ! After 3 yrs, putting it off 5 times and a month already of delays and cock-ups "it's 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐋 not clear when full border controls will be in place" 👇 Strange that the EU figured it all out on Day 1. But then, it doesn't rely on the UK for a third of what it eats🤡 https://t.co/eInWohtPnV

🇬🇧 Brexit border IT outages delay import of perishable items to UK by up to 20 hours https://t.co/sjHGnoz6DH
Perishable products don't like border delays. Just to clarify ALVS system does not deal with food imports directly. It's a system that's used to connect information submitted to DEFRA i.e. pre-notification for food, animal and plant products... /1 https://t.co/HCy6FqAVCh
