It’s worth noting that a Brexit helpline has been set up by the government to offer advice to businesses that our customers may find useful. 
 
The number for this helpline is 0300 3301331 
 
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind our customers that haven’t yet applied for a UK Eori number and Transitional Simplified Procedure code to please do so as a matter of urgency, as we won’t be able to ship your goods from Europe without it if we leave the EU with no deal agreed. 
If you require any further clarification on the above points, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
