The Customs (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2026
This instrument includes various changes to customs regulations. In particular, it will ensure HMRC can require operators of ports to provide appropriate facilities for customs formalities at an offsite location where HMRC assesses that there is insufficient space for those facilities to be provided at the port. Other changes in the instrument relate to the declaration of goods for customs purposes. These changes facilitate the use of digital ‘carnet’ documents as declarations, and extend bulk Customs declaration arrangements for imported postal packets, so these are available for imported postal packets sent to recipients anywhere in the United Kingdom (UK). This instrument also updates the law concerning interest chargeable by HMRC on import duty liabilities where there has been non-compliance with a Customs obligation or the correction or amendment of a previously accepted Customs declaration.

The Climate Change Act 2008 (Credit Limit) Order 2026
This legislation relates to the maximum level of UK greenhouse gas emissions for the years 2028 to 2032, known as the fifth carbon budget, which was set in 2016. The legislation sets a limit (of zero) on the amount of overseas reductions, or avoidance, of greenhouse gases that are allowed to count towards meeting the fifth carbon budget. The legislation also exempts the EU Emissions Trading System from the limit. This is to avoid restricting any future approaches to linking the EU Emissions Trading System and the UK Emissions Trading Scheme.
