Customs Declaration Services Programme

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much of the £2 million allocated to helping traders to make customs declarations has been spent on (a) administering the scheme and (b) helping traders.

Answer

The £5 million grant fund, which includes the £2 million to support customs intermediaries and traders who complete customs declarations with the cost of training, does not include any administration costs. Any costs associated with administering the scheme are accounted for separately. The full £5 million grant fund is available for bids from intermediaries and traders.
