11. 7 Border Delivery Group Industry Day - Madrid, Spain OFFICIAL • UK border planning assumptions are now focussed on trade r readiness, and the potential for disruption to RoRo flow in the event of a “No Deal”. • We have revised the original assumptions to reflect tha t infrastructure & resources (customs / SPS facilities) are now in place in France. • UK Day 1 arrangements do not include any new checks a t the border, so will not constrain the flow of RoRo goods into the UK . • Given the nature of the closed loop system at the sho rt straits, there is a risk of disruption to the flow of goods into and out of the UK. Our current assumptions are: • that less than 50% of freight vehicles will have the c orrect documents. • If unready trucks travel from the UK, they will have to be processed at the EU border, which may cause blockages and queues. • In order to be ready, customs and SPS declarations mu st be prepared in advance of arrival at the EU border. • Trucks with complex loads may have multiple consignmen ts.
