We are committed to working closely with businesses as we implement the Protocol - they are at the heart of our approach. This is why we established the Business Engagement Forum and why we recently announced the introduction of the Trader Support Service.

This unique service will provide extensive support, guiding traders through all import processes at no additional cost. Backed by £200m in Government funding, this will ensure that businesses of all sizes can draw on the support it provides.
