Information and Resources for Traders

LCCI has been helping British businesses grow their international trade since 1881. Our range of services, advice and events enables companies to maximise their overseas opportunities in a cost effective and compliant manner.

Whether you’re a seasoned importer/exporter or planning your first overseas venture, it is essential that you keep up-to-date with the latest international trade requirements and regulations. We have created this resource hub – an online repository of accurate, timely information and useful links, from LCCI and third-party organisations to support businesses with their export and import journey.

Please note LCCI has no control over the content or accuracy of the third party links. 

Guidance for exporting and importing businesses
