The UK Government have set aside £20 million to help small and medium sized businesses adjust to new customs rules of origin, and VAT rules when trading with the EU.

The funding of up to £2,000 is available to UK established businesses with under 500 employees/under £1m turnover who are new to importing/exporting processes. It is available whether the business intends to make declarations themselves or use an agent’s services. The funding covers both training and professional advice.

More information on what the grant can be used for and who can apply can be found on GOV.UK.
