2026 is the year when ATA Carnets will join the digital era, going from their paper versions to the new eATA digital platform. The eATA Carnet project aims to digitalise ATA Carnets and their lifecycle management process, from issuance and declarations to transactions and claims. The eATA global transition will begin on Monday 1 June 2026 starting with the EU, Norway, Switzerland and the UK. 

This session is designed for individuals and organisations who are already applying for and or using ATA Carnets to export their goods temporarily out of the UK and want to prepare for the digital transition. 

Do you see three letter codes associated with your imports and exports and wonder what they mean? Have you been using DAP or DDP because that’s the way it’s always done? Did you know that there are significant risks when using EXW? Do goods get stuck on the way to your customers, and no one is quite sure why? This webinar will show you that understanding Incoterms® Rules is fundamental to international trade and can make shipments much easier.

This webinar will provide a practical overview of the opportunities for entering and expanding into the Canadian market. Participants will gain insight into Canada’s regulatory and investment environment, market access and trade frameworks, as well as key growth sectors. The session will also explore operational considerations such as practical supply chain solutions and building a local presence, presenting ways in which companies can navigate the changing trading landscape. 

This practical webinar is designed to help businesses guide through the essentials of entering and succeeding in the Canadian market and understand how to position themselves for long-term success.

We are delighted to be joined by Nigel Bacon, CEO, Canada-UK Chamber of Commerce, Claudio Ramirez, Head of Science, Tech and Innovation, High Commission of Canada and Carolyn Kim, Vice President, Corporate Affairs, UPS Canada.

Disputes are an inevitable feature of international trade. Even well‑drafted commercial contracts can break down, leaving businesses needing to enforce their rights against trading partners.

Putting an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanism in place is much like taking out an insurance policy: you hope you never need it, but when issues arise, it can save your business considerable time, cost, and disruption in the long run.
 
The good news is, unlike an insurance policy, parties can simply decide to include a dispute resolution clause in their contracts, ready to be relied upon if something goes wrong.

The London Chamber of Arbitration and Mediation (LCAM) is the LCCI’s dedicated dispute resolution body, supporting businesses of all sizes with effective and flexible ADR solutions.
 
In this webinar, we will cover: 

• Why alternative dispute resolution matters for businesses;

• What arbitration and mediation are, and how they work; and

• How to draft an effective dispute resolution clause in a commercial contract.
