UKFT Guide to US e-Filing: This guide supports compliance with new US border rules, helping members understand electronic data submission requirements.
UKFT Guide to Certificates of Conformity (GCC): Find out what documentation your business needs for the US GCC as well as for Certificates of Conformity for products entering the UAE and Saudi Arabia. This guide is thought out to complement the UKFT Guide to US e-Filing.
UKFT Guide to Flammability Regulations and Testing Requirements: This guide offers key information and support for products entering regulated markets. It is particularly relevant for businesses working with home textiles, nightwear and other categories subject to flammability testing and those creating certificates of conformity.
