Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that consumer goods imported into the UK are labelled only with regard to the recognised customs authority that processes their export.

His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the UK’s customs authority, is responsible for the vast majority of customs matters and protects the UK’s fiscal, economic, social and physical security before and at the border. HMRC works closely with Border Force to deliver customs controls for goods entering the UK. This ensures that customs functions are delivered effectively and in such a way that secures the UK border- for example, checking that goods have the correct customs documentation to allow import into the UK. All imported goods are required to meet UK regulations, including any relevant labelling requirements.
