BDO's dedicated Customs Duty team recently was successful in helping a client obtain 100% funding for training we provided them.

Businesses based in – or with a branch in – the UK can apply for such a grant. Businesses need to register by 17 January 2020 to make sure they meet the application deadline.
Our customs training programs cover all areas of customs planning and compliance for global businesses and are customised to fit your needs. The training will help fill current knowledge gaps and better prepare you for any possible outcome.
Customs training is worthwhile regardless of the Brexit outcome, as businesses have to be prepared for whatever happens and given the fact that the Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is undertaking a robust programme of customs audits across the UK.
Our team would be happy to help with wording and team information biographies for your application.
Don't miss this opportunity for tailored customs training delivered by BDO at no cost to your organisation. Contact our team to book your training or to find out more about the grant program.
