The British Embassy Sofia encourages you to take part in a Survey to help UK Government understand what action you are taking to get ready for the new SPS import controls under the Border Target Operating Model and how they can support you.
Upon completion of the survey, you will be directed to the latest guidance on changes to import controls for SPS goods.
The survey takes between 5 and 7 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary and anonymous.

We thank you for supporting them in evaluating trader readiness for the upcoming changes under the BTOM and look forward to hearing from you.
In addition, based on the analysis they have done so far on the Trader Readiness Survey, the embassy has determined that EU traders are requesting for further assistance in the form of additional information and guidance. As a response to this the UK government has published a set of communication assets to support the readiness of traders and has been sharing these assets with EU traders.
