This article lists actions for businesses to make sure they are able to send goods from the UK to the EU, if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. How to Export from UK to EU after Brexit:

➀ Make sure your business has an EORI number that starts with GB

First, you will need an Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number starting with GB to continue exporting goods.

Check that your importer also has an EU EORI number. You’ll need to get an EU EORI number if you’re exporting to your own business within the EU. You can get one from the customs authority in any EU country.

➁ Decide who will make the export declarations

You can hire someone to deal with customs for you, or you may wish to do it yourself.

Also, decide if you want to export your goods using transit. You may be able to use the Common Transit Convention (CTC) to simplify how your goods pass through customs and when your importer pays customs duties.
