This article was published before we became the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade on 10 July 2024, and this is reflected in references to our old brand and name. For more information about us becoming Chartered, visit our dedicated webpage on the change here.

3 things to help you through this disruptive phase: stay calm, tell your European customers they are important to you and call the Institute of Export.

In these uncertain times we need to remember the true nature of trade and its long term benefits. Business needs clarity and we will endeavor to find that from government as a matter of urgency. As the only professional body representing international traders you can rely on us to find answers, to ensure messages get through and make sure any disconnects are mended.

We will ensure that global trade is at the forefront of government thinking and that our members’ voices are heard in any forthcoming negotiations. If we are to see prosperous economies,  we need Britain to be able to compete in a changing, globalised commercial world.
