    The potential checks (this side of the channel) fall arguably into 3 categories:

    - "customs": includes duty/tax collection/refund, statistics gathering, certificates of origin and financial guarantees - UKBF at the border, HMRC remotely from Salford;

    - safety and security: post-9/11 stuff - UKBF at the border;

    - public (consumer)/environment/culture protection: includes controls on food, toys and stuff, things (like pallets) that could threaten bio-diversity/welfare - HMRC and others remotely from Salford, plus UKBF, local and regional government et al at the border. Basically, if you can think of a government department/agency, then they probably have an interest.
