Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) is now no longer part of a safety and security zone with the EU.
Safety and security declarations will now be due from:

Some controls have applied since 1 January 2021 and full controls for all goods were due to apply from 1 July 2021.
The government has continued to monitor the impacts that COVID-19 is having on UK business and has decided that some controls will now apply from October 2021, and full controls for all goods will apply from 1 January 2022.
