Last week, the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) took part in a roundtable at the Social Market Foundation in London ahead of the publication of a new report on exports and e-commerce. They raised key challenges for SME exporting firms on VAT compliance and the need for end-to-end export support in supplying overseas customers.

The BCC have participated in discussions with officials from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on the future of UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) and CE marking of construction, manufactured and other industrial goods. A clear message was given around the need for urgent action, clarity and stability only eight weeks out from the proposed rollout of UKCA.

The BCC also had meetings at Westminster on the forthcoming Committee Stage of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill which begins this week. They outlined their key positions and look forward to making a written submission to the Public Bill Committee this week.

During International Trade Week, Kemi Badenoch MP, Secretary of State for International Trade called for green investment to future proof the economy at the Green Trade and Investment Expo in Gateshead. She said green overseas investment in the past two years had created over 11,000 jobs and was worth £20bn to the UK economy.

Trade negotiations with Switzerland are expected to begin soon, with a focus on professional labour mobility and services market access, as both parties seek to upgrade the continuity agreement reached on trade in goods during the UK’s exit from the EU.

A call for evidence on a key UK export market - South Korea - is due to be launched soon. The revisions to the two countries’ trade agreement are required to deal with commitments on rules of origin but may also seek to deepen access on digital trade, green trade, and services.
