As the earliest form of commerce, trade has always been the central cog of the world’s economic activity. As we dreamed to venture further, in search of bigger and brighter horizons, trade was the means by which it was made possible. Trade and it is the most impactful system in economics throughout history. Indeed, a great many wars have been fought in the name of trade,  both on the battlefields and in the boardroom, it keeps our entrepreneurial spirit alive and wanting… And it even has the power to bring about peace. 

As we’ve progressed through the ages, systems have evolved that dictate and monitor the movement of universal trade, which invariably add to the intricacies associated with international import & export. When you add in politics, recessions, (and more recently) global pandemics, the challenges and complexities surrounding import and export are very clear for all to see. 

Here are some of the key issues faced when exporting to our international neighbours

Export to France

As one of the most culturally robust economies in the European Union, it’s no surprise that UK businesses look to export to France. However, it can prove to be a relatively complex task. Conducting business in France requires adherence to very strict and often complicated standards and procedures, as dictated by the European Union. In addition, success is typically only won after establishing relationships over a period of time. 

Export to Germany

Many countries in Europe and beyond are keen to export to Germany as it is a nation that has always been at the forefront of international trade. However, native language, national trade regulations, plus existing tariffs can all pose barriers to new businesses. 

Export to Italy

Being the world’s 8th largest economy gives businesses a huge $500 billion incentive to seek opportunities to export to Italy, with high volumes of trade making it an ideal destination for expanding businesses. However, alongside their tariffs, and compliances such as licensing, existing trade regulation, and statutory certifications, there are hurdles to cross before trade can be established.

UK Imports and Exports

As a major market for consumer goods, UK Imports and exports are probably at the top of the wish list for any business dealing in trade. The UK is considered as one of the most friction-less countries with which to trade with, though policies and import/export regulations are likely to change considerably post-Brexit. UK Imports and Exports however will still likely remain as highly profitable.
