This month Revenue will begin an individual business-focused engagement programme, which is designed to support and assist businesses in understanding the potential impact of Brexit and how to prepare for and mitigate the risks.

Letters will issue to each trader on a phased basis starting in July with follow up phone calls by Revenue staff in July/August. Registering for an EORI number is the critical first step in preparing for Brexit. However, Revenue will highlight other steps necessary to prepare for Brexit, especially relating to customs declarations and classification, and other obligations relating to guarantees, authorisations and, if required, third-party licencing.
