According to a piece carried by Sky News, citing the latest records from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), two-thirds of UK exporters, responsible for around 25% of trade with the European Union, have still not taken the most basic steps to prepare for a no-deal Brexit.
70,000 out of a possible 240,000 companies have registered for crucial documentation required to continue trading with the EU, Sky News said.
HMRC stresses that the firms which have registered account for 75% of UK-EU trade by volume.
