The Government is committed to minimising administrative burdens and frictions experienced by businesses trading internationally and is engaging with key stakeholders to better understand their needs for the future operation of the UK border.

The Government does not have a definitive timeframe for the implementation of the Single Trade Window, though traders are able to submit import and export documentations electronically via the Customs Declaration Service.
