With the introduction of the Customs (Safety and Security Procedures) Regulations 2025, the government once again tightens its grip on free enterprise, imposing burdensome requirements that threaten to hinder economic growth and innovation. This regulation, under the guise of safety and security, imposes unnecessary barriers on trade, stifling the entrepreneurial spirit and innovation that drive our economy. Critics argue that such heavy-handed government intervention in the market is a step back for a nation built on the principles of free trade and limited government interference.
