Important documents when exporting under preference or non preference, assisting your customers to reduce potential duty and streamline customs when importing

The ETDA revolutionises the legal recognition of electronic trade documents, such as the electronic bill of lading (E.B/L), equating them with their traditional paper counterparts. This transformation is set to reduce operational costs, lessen the carbon footprint of international trade, and foster competitive pricing for businesses and consumers alike. Salient Features of the ETDA: Possession & Transferability: The Act masterfully resolves the digital quandaries of 'possession' and 'transferability', granting electronic documents the same legal standing as physical ones. Mandatory Reliable System: At the heart of the ETDA is the mandate for a 'reliable system' for the legal recognition of electronic trade documents. This encompasses safeguards against unauthorised alterations, secure document control, and reliable transfer mechanisms. As the ETDA sets sail, attention turns towards the implementation of systems that meet these stringent criteria. These digital infrastructures are pivotal for the secure and efficient handling of trade documentation, featuring advancements such as unique cryptographic keys for heightened security and protocols for the seamless verification and transfer of electronic documents. In this transformative period, The Exchange Legal Services stands ready to guide businesses through the intricacies of adopting electronic trade documents and adapting to the ETDA’s requirements. #ExchangeLegalServices #ETDA #UKLaw #TradeFinance

#CDHAlert | CIPC Announcement on beneficial ownership is discussed by CDH's Roxanne Bain below. CIPC has once again issued a warning in connection with beneficial ownership filings. They notified the public yesterday that with effect from 1 July 2024, it will not be possible to file an annual return unless there has first been compliance with the requirement to submit a securities register and beneficial ownership information or beneficial interest information (as applicable). This hard-stop functionality on CIPC's electronic platform means that a failure to comply could result in the incurrence of penalties for the late filing of annual returns and, where there is continued non-compliance, referral for deregistration. This notice is the latest in a string of extensions communicated by CIPC in relation to beneficial ownership and it would be prudent to assume that time is starting to run out. Should you require any assistance with submitting your beneficial ownership filing, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at cosec@cdhlegal.com    Read the full notice here - https://bit.ly/3VdFmxQ #CIPC #CompaniesandIntellectualPropertyCommission #beneficialownership

If you want to see the real world impacts of a dispute between two stakeholders in a national network - take a gander at the new TEFCA SOP "Exchange Purpose (XP) Vetting Process". I love the specificity (creates trust and a level playing field) and, at the same time, I am very concerned about how the QHINs and their downstream partners scale these new vetting requirements. At the very least - if you are already participating in a QHIN, or plan to, you need to understand these requirements! https://lnkd.in/gEa8MMps
