Force Majeure Certificates
The Chamber is offers this service, for companies who are facing trading issues due to force majeure circumstances (beyond the control of the applicant) such as fire, flood, industrial disputes, pandemic, wars and conflicts.
Please note that the Chamber can only certify factual details that can be evidenced. We cannot comment as to whether or not Force Majeure applies or argue such claims on behalf of the applicant. It is the responsibility of the applicant to claim Force Majeure and the issuing body’s role is to provide a certificate in support of such claim.
Companies who are facing current trading issues following the impact of COVID, and most recently the invasion of Ukraine on the 24th Feb 2022, can use this service.
