Skillnet Ireland's Clear Customs programme is the key support in this area funded by my Department through the National Training Fund. The programme has been designed in collaboration with industry bodies in the exporting, freight and logistics sectors for companies as they prepare for the new customs requirements post-Brexit.

There has been a positive response to the Clear Customs scheme. 1,572 company applications have been approved for training and 1,566 participants have enrolled in Clear Customs since its launch.
