Informing You
Exporting from the EU
What you need to know
 

The Market Access Database (MADB) gives information to companies exporting from the EU about import conditions in third country markets. The European Commission has included in its Market Access Database detailed information on rules adopted by UK authorities that would apply on UK imports from the EU in the event of a no-deal Brexit. We encourage companies to continue their preparations. To access this useful tool click here.
