As September ushers in a shift in seasons, particularly marked by the transition to autumnal weather in the United Kingdom, it also heralds a series of alterations in the realm of international trade. These changes are not merely climatic but are linked to various global economic factors and developments. Take, for example, the continuing conflict in Ukraine, which has prompted a surge in sanctions imposed on Russia and Russian products, spanning the United Kingdom and the European Union. In contrast, the start of autumn can have a notable impact on supply chain operations as companies gear up for the holiday season; if this period marks the beginning of your busiest trading time, keeping compliance at the forefront of your priorities is crucial.
