Should the UK leave the EU on 22nd May without a deal, businesses that import from and/or export to the EU will be faced with additional controls and requirements that they currently do no need to do when trading with the EU. In a no-deal scenario, businesses will be faced with making Customs Declarations for imports and exports, understanding commodity codes and the tariffs and duties attached to these codes, understanding Incoterm rules and the obligations, additional paperwork requirements, changes with rules of origin and possible implications to UK exemption from the EU trade agreements.

This programme will look at how UK importers and exporters trading with the EU and other overseas countries can prepare for these changes, in the event of a no-deal scenario, where they can find support and information and how to minimise the potential disruption.
