Conclusion
However, even if there is a deal, there will be important differences in the future trading arrangements between the UK and EU as the UK will no longer be in the Single Market or Customs Union. These differences include new customs processes and procedures and will require businesses to adapt swiftly.

• The haulier handbook was launched on 18 November. It is one part of a wider package the Government has put in place to help and guide hauliers, which also includes the roll out of 46 Information and Advice Sites. Two of these are in Wales, at Roadking (for Holyhead) and Pont Abraham (for Fishguard & Pembroke Dock) There is also a multimillion pound information campaign running both across the UK and Europe. • The handbook explains complex procedures that hauliers and drivers will need to follow. Government has worked with stakeholders to make it as clear as possible. Both Logistics UK and the RHA were extensively involved in reviewing drafts of the handbook and tested the content with their members. This has proven invaluable in ensuring the handbook meets the needs of hauliers and drivers. The Haulier Handbook is available in 14 languages, including Welsh, Romanian, Polish, Dutch, Bulgarian, French and Spanish. • The Government is publicising the haulier handbook in the EU via the IRU (the International Road Transport Union), via DIT, FCDO and BPDG channels and directly with trade bodies in EU Member States.
