The Guernsey Chamber of Commerce is calling on local businesses to take full advantage of Guernsey’s daily connections to St Malo, France, as a straightforward gateway for trade with mainland Europe. To support this ambition, the Chamber is offering a practical webinar, Customs Made Simple: Importing from Europe via St Malo, on Tuesday, 3 February 2026 (12:30–13:30).
