Force Majeure are certificates attesting the existence of force majeure circumstances i.e. circumstances beyond the control of the applicant such as fire, flood, industrial disputes, pandemic, wars and conflicts etc. Please note that we 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. How you apply to your Chamber for a Force Majeure Certificate
- Email a letter confirming details of the force majeure circumstances and the scope of non-fulfilment of contractual obligations due to these circumstances, signed by the company director, to [email protected]
- This will need to be backed up by documents by the competent authorities or verifiable sources attesting to the existence of the force majeure circumstances (not required if circumstances are related to invasion of Ukraine)
- We will produce a draft letter and email it to you for approval.
- The letter on Chamber headed paper will be stamped with the Chamber logo stamp and released once we have received the payment
