Answer
Steel imports are subject to the same risk-based, intelligence-led compliance checks the UK applies across all imports. HMRC and Border Force take appropriate enforcement action where cases of non-compliance or deliberate fraud are detected. Businesses and individuals who do not comply with customs controls may be liable to civil or criminal penalties.
