Genesis Launch Day: Simplifying Preferential Origin Declarations

We’ve been talking about our preparations for the launch of Genesis for the last few months… Working with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Training with Preferential Rules of Origin expert Frank Bertens from the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce Trips to the ICC in Paris for our team to learn about the intricacies of Free Trade Agreements and rules of origin… It’s been fun! And now we are here…the launch day of Genesis. Genesis is a new digital trade tool for verifying and certifying preferential origin declarations made by exporters within the framework of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). It aims to reduce importers' risk of mistakes, fraud, and fines, facilitate smoother customs checks of origin declarations, and simplify customs control procedures.

The Future of Business and Housing in Gloucestershire

In just a few days' time, we will have a new government, and businesses look forward to a new chapter of support from Whitehall with a clear plan. Our region has seen a lack of investment in skills and in addressing core issues like transportation and housing. Tackling these issues, most of which are interlinked, requires serious investment that lasts beyond one political cycle. Realistically, it will be very difficult for businesses to see any immediate benefits from the new government. They simply want a clear plan for growth and encouragement to invest. I talk to a lot of businesses, and they consistently express a desire for stability so they can gain the confidence needed to make investments that will grow their companies and the regional economy.

First UK ATA Carnet issued to Peru supports charitable rowing adventure

We're thrilled to share that Business West has issued the first UK ATA Carnet to Peru on behalf of Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce. This milestone facilitated a unique charitable venture: a rowing trip up the Amazon River to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital. The ATA Carnet, often called the "passport for goods," will streamline temporarily exporting the necessary equipment to Peru, including the team's rowing boat, ensuring a hassle-free journey. This event marks a first for temporary export and showcases the power of international collaboration in supporting vital fundraising projects.
