EU Trade Hub

The EU remains our nearest and biggest market.

The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement is now the framework within which we will do business together. To help you navigate the new rules and maximise opportunities, LCCI have several services in place to support businesses trade with the EU. If you are an LCCI member and need specific EU trade advice, please complete the contact form below and the team will be in touch.

How LCCI can help you trade in the EU

Export Documentation

International trade documents for exports and imports are now even more important as the UK operates an independent trade policy. As the largest issuer of export documents in the UK, we have the experience and knowledge to help. LCCI members can benefit from discounted rates on Certificates of Origin and ATA Carnets – passports for goods going to trade fairs, or professional equipment and samples.

Customs Declarations

Customs declarations are legally-required forms which are used to accompany goods that are entering or leaving a market. All exports and imports must be recorded in the form and data transferred to HMRC. Our Customs Declaration team has a wealth of experience, and can support your business in this process and lodge customs entries on your behalf – by sea, air, or road, from or to any UK port.

Trading in Services

If you provide services or invest in the EU, you should check the regulations of each country in which you’re doing business to ensure you are compliant in areas such as licencing, professional qualifications and VAT.

Specific guidance is available for auditing and legal services.

The EU-UK Trade Agreement includes a bridging mechanism for the continued free flow of personal data until adequacy decisions come into force. In the meantime, it is advisable to put in place alternative transfer mechanisms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). Find out more.
