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? HM Treasury and HMRC are consulting on extending the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to refinery products, including petrol, diesel, jet fuel and kerosene.
Who is affected? UK importers of the listed fuels, overseas refineries, biofuel blenders and downstream fuel buyers.
Why does it matter? Identifying the refinery of origin and obtaining reliable emissions data could prove difficult, particularly where fuel is blended or traded through wholesale markets.
What should you do? Review supplier data, contracts and traceability arrangements to establish whether you can identify the refinery of origin and obtain actual emissions information. The consultation closes on 20 January 2027.
