Brexit grants

Grants available to Borough businesses who trade with EU

If you run a business in the Borough that imports or exports with EU countries, government money is available to hire experts to deal with the customs declarations, and other regulations and checks, that may be a requirement after the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December 2020.

Full import controls may be imposed on goods moving between the EU and Great Britain from 1 January 2021 – and imports and exports may be subject to the same checks and controls as goods coming from the rest of the world.

A total of around £7.5 million is available to allow firms to hire or train experts to deal with customs declarations.
