Information sessions are being held across Northern Ireland to help agri-food businesses or traders who export or import, to prepare for a no deal Brexit.
The sessions, hosted by the Department of Agriculture, Enviroment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) and supported by Invest NI, HMRC and the Food Standards Agency (FSA), aim to help business understand the changes and new regulations they will face after 31 October 2019.
DAERA is encouraging businesses to urgently register for the workshops to secure their place as interest is expected to be high. Places and consultations at each event are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
