HMRC carried out high level engagement with small maritime ports and wharves ahead of the end of the transition period; this includes those within Wales.

Ports indicating an intention to operate CTC will have also received direct communications from HMRC to understand their position for January 2021. Officials will carry out more detailed engagement with these stakeholders ahead of July 2021 to ensure they are ready for the introduction of staged controls.
