UKFT has been working very closely with the UK government during all the negotiations with the EU. We know and understand how the UK-EU TCA will impact on UK fashion and textile businesses and we can help and advise members on how to develop new strategies to ensure they can continue to trade successfully with the EU and the rest of the world.

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.

Unfortunately we are unable to answer non-member queries at this time. If you are a UKFT member with questions or want to find out more about UKFT membership, please do get in touch at info@ukft.org.
