The first in a series of workshops on dealing with Customs procedures is under way as the deadline for securing a deal on Brexit draws closer.
The one-day workshops, the first of which is taking place in Cavan, will cover export and import procedures that apply when trading with countries outside the customs union and single market.
They will also look at how tariffs work and at the classification of goods being shipped.
Twenty-five business people who will be affected by Brexit have signed up for today's event including manufacturing, food, logistics and service companies.
Local Enterprise Offices around the country will provide the courses which have been designed by customs experts from business advisory and consultancy firm BDO.
The 'Prepare your Business for Customs' workshops will also take place in Cork, Dublin and Portlaoise.
