Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the reasons for the customs delays affecting the export consignments from Magload Ltd with (a) DHL tracking number 6480575743 and (b) UPS tracking number 1ZE461190495384661; and whether she plans to take steps to ensure these consignments are reviewed and processed.

Information relating to identifiable taxpayers is protected by taxpayer confidentiality under the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005, and HMRC is therefore unable to disclose it. HMRC does not provide specific details regarding checks as to do so could undermine compliance activity.

HMRC takes a risk-based and intelligence-led approach to customs enforcement. HMRC understands the importance of consumers receiving their consignments on time and has robust procedures alongside Border Force to help maintain the flow, whilst ensuring risks are managed.
