Making sure that your customs procedures are complete is incredibly important. If you haven’t had much experience in completing customs documentation before it is likely that you are looking towards using a customs broker to assist you. For some smaller businesses, this may be more costly than they expected it to be and could put a strain on finances. The Government Grant for customs procedures is a helpful tool for businesses that are experiencing this.
