Which markets does the service cover?
Following the ESS crisis support for businesses trading with Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, the first additional region will be Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECAN) from 10th October. This will bring support for 11 additional markets – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The ESS will continue to expand to support additional markets throughout 2022/23, with further regional support rolling out from December, aiming to roll the service out to the rest of the world by March 2023.
What type of questions can I ask?
The service provides information and guidance for queries about exporting any products or services to Europe and will help you navigate existing guidance on www.GOV.UK
Can I ask more than one question at a time?
You can ask more than one question about exporting to Europe and will receive a tailored response. Response times will depend on the complexity of your query, but we aim to respond in a maximum of 10 days.
