Understanding Exporting

Exporting opens doors to significant growth—98% of the world's market is outside the UK. This practical course gives you the knowledge and confidence to explore export opportunities, whether you're starting out or refining existing processes. You'll understand the commercial, logistical and compliance steps needed to trade successfully, so you can avoid costly mistakes and build sustainable export processes.

• Understand the complete UK export process from enquiry to shipment
• Prepare your business for exporting overseas
• Recognise the documentation required to export goods from the UK
• Understand how Incoterms® affect international shipments
• Avoid common export compliance mistakes.

This course is suitable for administrators, managers, directors, and owners of businesses who want to grow through international trade. It will be valuable for companies who are already exporting reactively so they can ensure they have the correct processes in place and are meeting their compliance obligations. The course is valuable for both newcomers wanting an introduction and overview, and experienced staff needing a refresher on current requirements.

This training is delivered in collaboration with LCCI’s Trusted Trainers International Trade Matters as part of the Nationally Accredited Chamber Network.
