Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Defence Export Agreements
Q: What is the latest European Defence Exports Agreement about, and what should businesses do to prepare?
The agreement focuses on tracking the value and UK content in components to determine whether 20% or more UK content is present, which then dictates whether sales can proceed without veto; businesses should start recording values and costs, maintain traceable records, and understand de minimis thresholds to ensure compliance and avoid future trade barriers.
Defence Export Agreements
Q: What is a Defence Export Agreement?
A Defence Export Agreement is an international pact between two or more countries that aligns their regulations to facilitate trade and ensure certain behaviors, especially around sensitive technologies, while protecting national interests like IP and sovereignty.
Customs for eCommerce
Q: What should businesses do right now to prepare for these e-commerce changes?
Understand and consolidate accurate data on products, classifications, and values, work with partners to ensure consistent data across the supply chain, and plan for potential changes in duties and VAT handling, including how your pricing may absorb new costs.
Navigating the geopolitical turbulence
Q: Why are tariffs re-emerging as a major policy tool now?
Tariffs are re-emerging because geopolitical competition and a perceived drift from established rule-based trade practices have led governments to use tariffs to influence outcomes, including protecting domestic industries and signaling political priorities.
Understanding Borders at Board Level
Q: How should organisations balance political uncertainty with operational realities?
By first understanding their own business, mapping political implications to supply chain and finance, and ensuring leadership understands both boardroom concerns and the on-the-ground realities to create resilient strategies.
