If your business involve import and/or export goods with the EU and if UK leave the EU without a deal, on 29 March 2019. There would be immediate changes to the way you trade with businesses in the EU. This could also mean the delay in importing or exporting goods with EU.

1. Register for a UK Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI)
- You’ll need an EORI number to continue to import or export goods with the EU if there is no deal.
