What changed

The amendment modifies regulation 1 of S.I. 2026/393 (citation and commencement) by substituting "20th April" with "25th May" as the coming into force date for the principal instrument. This is a procedural date change only with no substantive regulatory modifications.

Affected parties involved in Northern Ireland customs arrangements will have additional time before S.I. 2026/393 takes effect, allowing further preparation for compliance with the customs amendments. No new obligations are created by this instrument.
