We put the emissions-data obligation into the purchase terms at renewal and gave a 90-day grace. Two of five suppliers started reporting rather than lose the contract. It is slower than a workaround but it is the only version that survives the next reporting period too.

Pre-submitting: our steel supplier will only provide emissions data once a year, audited in Q1. Is annual data acceptable for all four quarterly filings, or do we need them to attest it hasn't materially changed?

Been exactly here (Jeddah, 2024). What worked: a chamber-attested correction letter referencing the original CoO number, PLUS the broker filing an importer undertaking letter accepting the name variance. Cleared in 3 days instead of waiting for reissue. It is discretionary, your broker's relationship with the port matters, but ask for it explicitly, brokers don't always volunteer the option.

Sharing my claim story from the session chat: DDP into Norway, we couldn't register for VAT in time, goods sat for three weeks. The wall chart says DDP is 'maximum seller obligation', nobody mentions it's also maximum seller paperwork in a country you don't know.
