The Customs Grant Scheme has been set up to help businesses prepare for new customs arrangements from 1 January 2021. This includes supporting businesses who trade with the EU to undertake training to improve their understanding of customs requirements and working with customs intermediaries. It also helps customs intermediaries increase their capacity to complete customs declarations and accelerate growth of the sector in order to meet the increased demand it will see from 1 January 2021. 

There are three different types of grant available through the Customs Grant Scheme:

1. Grants for Trader Training: up to £1,000.
2. Grants for IT, Training and Recruitment: up to 200,000 Euros.
3. Grants for a Co-Funded Training Project: up to 2 million Euros.
