BIFA Member Guidance - Business Enquiries Relating to Ukraine and Russia

Further to yesterday's guidance, BIFA has received further information from the Department of International Trade relating to trade with Russia and the Ukraine. This should be read in conjunction with our previous news article.

Following the Prime Minister's statement to the House of Commons on Ukraine, I wanted to share some guidance should your organisation have, or receive enquiries from, your members/networks in relation to trade with Ukraine or Russia.

Please signpost businesses to the Export Support Service:

Businesses can submit an enquiry to DIT’s Digital Enquiry Service or call the helpline on 0300 303 8955
The ESS landing page also features a dedicated link for Ukraine or Russia enquiries
ESS will be the first point of contact for business and trade enquiries relating to Ukraine or Russia, as well as continuing to provide support to businesses exporting to Europe. Further background on ESS can be found below
