- What testing and roll-out schedule is HMRC working to? What fallback options are available in case of delays or roll-out failure?
- Will software suppliers have sufficient time to update their systems to link into the new IT infrastructure?
- Are traders, hauliers and customs agents trained and ready to operate the new systems?
- How successful has the Customs Grant Scheme been at increasing the capacity of the customs intermediary sector to meet the projected higher demand for its services?
