REMINDER Standard Rules Update
Standard Rules must be observed by applicants when applying for Certificates of Origin or requesting the certification of international trade documents. The Standard Rules have been updated to reflect the exporters responsibility to print UK Certificates of Origin on plain paper to a standard which will be accepted by custom authorities. These rules take effect from 1 April 2023. We will be sending out a letter this week to all exporting companies. View the letter here and our new documentation rates. If you need further information on the change to printing UK Certificates of Origin on plain paper please contact the International Trade Team on 01223 237414 or email internationaltrade@cambscci.co.uk. |
