Mr. Niall Cody:

Some will be in the port and some will be outside the port. Some of the work will take place at approved warehouses. How customs works, and the Deputy knows this, is with green, orange and red routing. In green routing, goods are allowed straight through to their final destination. Orange routing requires documentation checks and red routing sometimes requires physical examination of the goods. The percentage of goods that generally is red routed is between 1% and 2%. The big difference is the volume and the 100% increase exponentially as the UK leaves the Single Market and customs union. We have approximately 1.6 million customs declarations pre-Brexit. We anticipate this will increase to 20 million post-Brexit.
