A proposed agreement was agreed last week on the Northern Ireland Protocol. The British Chambers of Commerce has been calling for a negotiated solution to the trading difficulties caused by the initial version of the protocol. They have produced a Q&A document that can be found below.

I would also like to remind you about the change to plain paper certificates of origin from 1 April 2023. Please click here to view a letter regarding the change to UK Certificates of Origin that is being sent to all companies that use the Chamber documentation service.
