The Week's Key Customs & Trade Developments

Dear ,

Welcome to this week's Customs & Trade Weekly Brief.

Customs and trade information is everywhere. The challenge isn't finding information. It's knowing what actually matters to your business.

Every Friday, we cut through the noise and highlight the developments that deserve your attention.

What changed? Who is affected? What should you consider?

Here are this week's four developments.

🇬🇧 UNITED KINGDOM

What changed? UK CBAM begins on 1 January 2027. HMRC has published default emissions values and guidance on charge rates.

Who is affected? Importers of covered goods, compliance and finance teams, and overseas suppliers.

Why does it matter? Returns using default values cannot subsequently be amended, making reliable emissions data and supplier records critical.

What should you do? Identify goods in scope, obtain supplier emissions data and review record-keeping processes.
