The government has announced that the third stage of Border Target Operating Model (Btom) will now not be implemented until 31 January next year, rather than its planned introduction on 31 October.
Dr Mike Galsworthy, chair of European Movement UK, said: "The perennial delays on implementing chunks of Brexit provide all the evidence needed that successive governments have known full well that Brexit simply does not work for working people."
Delays have been caused because of fears that perishable goods like fruit, vegetables and meat will rot at the border, impacting supply chains.
The latest delay has also pushed back security checks on all other goods including electronics, revealing ongoing challenges in post-Brexit trade logistics.
