Significant Government Grants available for our Import/Export Training…
When the UK leaves the EU, our trading relationship with the EU is likely to change and in future there will be customs procedures and processes to complete. This has been recognised by the UK government and they have set up a Customs Training Grant Scheme to assist companies with their preparations for the changes. Essentially, the scheme allows you to apply for funding for training, both classroom and in-house, that helps your employees to complete customs declarations or carry out the technical processes of customs procedures.
