Tailored advice and support for UKFT members

UKFT can help members to chart the best course for their business. We are here to help our members make sense of the new rules and offer strategies for how individual businesses can best adapt to the new
arrangements.

Our team of industry experts can help UKFT members through the rules and regulations, as well as assist by checking customs declarations. Our trusted associate members can also offer advice on logistics, VAT, tax and legal issues that will inevitably be encountered along the way.
