The key timetable and dates that businesses need to know about are:
REVISED CHANGES
Under the revised timetable:
The requirements for pre-notification of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) goods, which were due to be introduced on 1 October 2021, will now be introduced on 1 January 2022.
The new requirements for Export Health Certificates, which were due to be introduced on 1 October 2021, will now be introduced on 1 July 2022.
Phytosanitary Certificates and physical checks on SPS goods at Border Control Posts, due to be introduced on 1 January 2022, will now be introduced on 1 July 2022.
Safety and Security declarations on imports will be required as of 1 July 2022 as opposed to 1 January 2022. Full customs declarations and controls will be introduced on 1 January 2022 as previously announced.
Pre-notification will be required for
Products of animal origin (POAO)
high-risk food not of animal origin (HRFNAO)
Animal by-products
Health certificates will be required for products of animal origin and certain animal by-products.

Guidance on importing animals has also been updated in “guidance for EU businesses exporting to the UK”, click here for more information.
Safety and Security requirements
HMRC wrote to traders on July 21 to update them on safety and security (S&S) requirements for imports and exports. This update included information on which Exit Summary (EXS) declaration process will need to be followed from 1 October 2021.
There is already a requirement to submit S&S information for exports from Great Britain. This is normally met by submitting a full export declaration that contains S&S information, or with a standalone Exit Summary (EXS) declaration.
Both types of pre-departure declaration should be submitted on CHIEF for exports from Great Britain.
A temporary waiver of this requirement is in place until 30 September 2021, for goods in RoRo vehicles, and for empty vehicles, containers and pallets moving under a transport contract from Great Britain to the EU.
From 1 October 2021, S&S information will be required on all movements out of Great
Britain, unless permanently exempt. If you need to submit an EXS declaration, you will need to follow one of two processes, depending on which port and mode of transport you use to export from Great Britain:
You will follow the existing rest of the world EXS process if you export through an inventory linked port or for any mode other than RoRo through a non-inventory linked port.
You will follow a new EXS process for exports if you export through Dover, Holyhead or Eurotunnel or by RoRo via a non-inventory linked location. You will need to submit an ‘arrived’ Exit Summary Declaration which removes the requirement to submit a separate arrival message in CHIEF. To do this, you will need to submit an Export Full Declaration on CHIEF using a new CPC code 10 00 056. This CPC code will be available in CHIEF from 1 October 2021. You will need to ensure your software is compatible with this new CPC code. We expect to make this new CPC code available for testing in CHIEF HMUT in late July 2021.
Official letter from HMRC announcing this change
From 1 January 2022 - REVISED SEE ABOVE
Safety and Security declarations for imported goods will be required.

Customs declarations on all goods will be required at the point of import, and businesses will no longer be able to use the deferred declaration scheme.
