The Dialogue builds on the successful inaugural Trade Dialogue in Baltimore, US, earlier in March. Drawing on the stakeholder discussions and bilateral talks Secretary of State Trevelyan and Ambassador Tai held in Aberdeen and Baltimore, they directed their teams to work at pace over the next several weeks to develop an ambitious roadmap with economically meaningful outcomes in a number of areas, including:


  • Supporting SMEs to trade
  • Harnessing the benefits of digital trade
  • Levelling up and worker-centric trade
  • Supporting resilient supply chains
  • Food security
  • Supporting the environment and climate action
  • Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Halloween wasn’t just a marketing opportunity for this company, for Jasper & Veil Ltd.; it was peak season. Their custom ghoulish gift boxes were packed with ghost-shaped biscuits, spooky mugs, novelty sweets, and glow-in-the-dark clothing, and flew off the shelves faster than you could say “trick or treat.”

Export and import controls aren't just red tape…. They are serious! The penalties are real, and the ghosts of mistakes past are hard to banish. So this Halloween, double-check your HS codes, origin declarations, OGEL conditions, and valuation methods. Because nothing's scarier than the words: "You are under investigation."
