Post-Brexit Customs Summit 2018 | City and Financial Global | 16 May 2018 | Royal Garden Hotel, Royal Garden Hotel 2-24 Kensington High Street London W8 4PT United Kingdom

The objective of this summit is to help UK companies, UK manufacturers and traders, who import from and export to Europe, with their contingency planning for the range of possible customs arrangements that may be in place post-Brexit, from a no-deal exit to a comprehensive FTA and customs agreement. Companies will need to understand both the tariff and non-tariff barriers they may face, as well as the implications for their supply chains and the customs compliance challenges that lie ahead. This will be particularly challenging for those SMEs that will be making customs declarations for the first time.
