With all the changes that are happening around trade, now is more important than ever to ensure that your teams are up-to-date with their training. We have three courses coming up focusing on the legalities around Customs Declarations, the importance of Letters of Credit and making sure you are compliant with your paperwork. Details of all courses can be found below. A webinar taking place on Thursday also identifies the changes when trading with Egypt and what you need to know. There are limited places remaining on this session and I urge you to register. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the British Chamber of Commerce in China on winning International Chamber of the Year in the 2022 Chamber Awards.

The UK and US reached a deeper consensus on data flows last week - a critical area in facilitating international trade. This is a step forward towards a UK-US data adequacy agreement which could permit further business data flows. Annual dialogues on digital services will also be held between both countries. Legislation is due to be brought forward next year. The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) is supportive of these efforts. The first round of UK trade negotiations with the Gulf Co-operation Council countries has been completed. UK negotiators are still trying to assess the scale of ambition for a free trade agreement on a range of issues from tariffs to market access for goods. The BCC is seeking a deep, comprehensive trade and investment agreement to boost exports and investment opportunities. The ONS trade data for August 2022 was released last week. UK goods exports to the EU fell by 0.5 per cent month on month. Fuel imports from the rest of the world amounted to more than a fifth of total UK goods imports. Read the BCC press release on the data here. The Electronic Trade Documents Bill has been presented to the House of Lords. The Bill gives legal status to holding electronic versions of bills of lading, bills of exchange and other trade documents. The Bill when passed should provide a reduction in red tape for UK exporters. The BCC welcomes progress with this Bill. The BCC gave evidence on the Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Bill to MPs on the Public Bill Committee. During the evidence session, the BCC expressed the hope that the two trade deals can be ratified and in force as soon as possible for UK traders. |
