Ukraine Support - recent updates
Our Ukraine Hub contains updated information and guidance for businesses about the situation in Ukraine. This will continue to be updated as and when new guidance is received.
Last week, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss MP announced a new tranche of sanctions on Russia. This time, they are affecting UK services exporters trading with Russia. Legal and remaining financial along with other business services exports from the UK to Russia remain unaffected for now. However, the new measures ban exports in accountancy, cloud computing, PR and management consultancy services.
Trade update
Last week, the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) took part in the first meeting of the Domestic Advisory Group on UK-EU trade, raising concerns over current and forthcoming new VAT burdens on cross-border trade.
We expect several trade-related Bills in today’s Queen’s Speech including:
- The Australian / New Zealand trade deal ratification bill
- A new bill on data protection
- The Brexit Opportunities Bill.
Also last week, the BCC had a call with Oliver Griffiths, the CEO of the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA). As well as discussing our policy asks on trade remedies on steel, we learned more about the TRA’s future work programme.

New packaging and electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) obligations for sellers on German online marketplaces
From 1 July 2022 online marketplaces and fulfilment service providers operating in Germany will be subject to new extended producer responsibility obligations for packaging that they place on the market, with similar regulations for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) coming into force on 1 January 2023.
Due to recent German packaging law changes, operators of online marketplaces will no longer be allowed to offer packaged products, and fulfilment service providers must not carry out any activities, such as storing, packaging or dispatching goods, if the sellers of these products have not complied with their legal obligations. Sellers need to be registered with the German Central Packaging Register LUCID and license their packaging with a German compliance scheme. These regulations apply to both product and shipping packaging.
