CTA

Meanwhile, 87% of US video game console imports came from China that year, 78% of smartphones, 79% of laptops and tablets, and two-thirds of monitors, says the CTA.

However, CTA rights do not extend to migrants, even if they hold lawful residency in the UK or Ireland.

During the operation across Northern Ireland, Scotland, Holyhead in Wales and London's Luton Airport, a total of 31 immigration offenders were arrested for abusing the CTA.

The CTA is a special travel zone covering the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.

All had entered the UK illegally by abusing the CTA, the Home Office added.
