Apply for grants if your business completes customs declarations

HMRC has made available three grants to help businesses with increased customs obligations following the end of the Brexit transition period. Businesses can apply to get funding for the following provisions:

  1. Training that helps your business to complete customs declarations and processes
    • 100 per cent of the actual costs of externally provided training, up to a limit of £1,500 for each employee
    • Partial funding for internal training, up to a limit of £250 for each employee on the course
  2. Recruiting new staff to help your business complete customs declarations
    • Available funding: £3,000 towards recruitment costs for each new employee, and up to £12,000 to cover the salary costs for each new or redeployed employee
  3. IT improvements to help your business complete customs declarations more efficiently
    • 100 per cent of the costs of IT expenditure

As PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is administering the grants for HMRC, interested applicants can apply online through the Customs Intermediary Grant website.
