Treasury written question – answered at on 29 November 2018.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect on logistics businesses of HMRC seizing containers on suspicion of the value declared of the goods contained being too low.
As part of its end to end approach to tackling customs fraud risks, HMRC is undertaking physical pre-clearance checks targeted at high risk traders. The checks are conducted inland to avoid causing congestion at ports. HMRC regularly meets with trade associations to identify ways of minimising the impact on logistics businesses of this necessary compliance activity.
