Conclusion
Defra told us that it had learned from experience of checks being introduced by the EU and that starting with pre-notification before introducing checks means that people would have to get used to using the IPAFFS system.66 It told us that in the early days there would be the option of taking a pragmatic approach as people learn the system.67 It also said that while traders would need to pre-notify their goods from January 2022, Defra would not start checking, or be in a position to hold freight, until July, when it had completed the necessary work with HMRC on the link between IPAFFS and GVMS.68
