🌍 This Week’s Trade Intelligence
📈 Market Demand Concentration

🎯 Decision Timing Shift
Trade decisions are increasingly happening earlier in the commercial process.
Why this matters: Late fixes to codes, origin or Incoterms® now appear as margin loss or compliance exposure.

⚖️ Tariff Pressure
A temporary 10% US import duty under Section 122 has created immediate cost exposure for many supply chains.
Why this matters: Contract Incoterms® determine who absorbs the cost.

🇬🇧 UK Trade Signals
HMRC continues prioritising classification accuracy, valuation methodology and post-clearance audit readiness.
