Trader Support Service registration deadline, sign up for HMRC support for UK transition webinars
BOSS have been holding regular calls with our representatives from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) over the last few months and feeding through our industry’s questions regarding the UK transition. Below are some updates that couldn’t wait for our Brexit bulletin at the end of the month.
Sign up for the Trader Support Service
If you move goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland the Trader Support Service will guide you through any changes due to the implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol.
