On 17 April 2018, the UK Government posted SI 2018/483 – The Customs (Contravention of a Relevant Rule) (Amendment) Regulations 2018. These Regulations amend the Customs (Contravention of a Relevant Rule) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/3113) (‘the 2003 Regulations’). The 2003 Regulations provide in part for penalties for contravention of rules set out in EU legislation. These Regulations replace references to the Community Customs Code and associated legislation which have lapsed with references to the Union Customs Code and associated legislation that are currently in force.
