Happy New Year to you all.
This year we are aiming to help as many businesses as possible improve their workforce knowledge and skills, thus improving the business itself. We have many different courses all relating to international trade, and it is imperative that your staff are armed with the skills to be able to negotiate the right incoterms and freight terms when making a sale, know the requirements of HMRC for Customs and Documentation, and have the skills required to ensure your business is making the most of international trading.
You can see details below of our January courses dates, plus a link to our website to see other courses scheduled during the year.
If you have any queries, please get in touch with our International Trade team by emailing internationaltrade@cambscci.co.uk or telephone 01223 237414.Karen Cash

Plain paper Certificates of Origin
It has been agreed that from 1 April 2023 the UK Issuing Body Network will move to plain paper Certificates of Origin. This means that exporters will no longer need pre-printed Certificates of Origin as the entire certificate will now be printed.
These must be printed in colour with a watermark and of a standard that is acceptable to customs authorities.
The electronic providers have been made aware of this decision and will update their systems as necessary.
We have asked whether manual certificates of origin can still be applied for and as soon as we have an answer we will share details with you.
If you have any questions, please do get in touch with the International Trade team on 01223 237414. |
