ALL YOUR EXPORTING REQUIREMENTS FULFILLED UNDER ONE ROOF

The UK is the world’s tenth-largest exporter in the world, with total goods exports of £28.8 in March 2020. The EU is the UK’s largest trading partner and exports up to £300 billion worth of goods and services. Let us examine the trade relationship between the UK and three other significant EU countries; export to Italy, export to France, export to Germany.

Export to ItalyItaly is relatively close to the UK, with a travelling time of only 2.5 hours by air. This proximity to Italy makes it an ideal location for UK businesses who are looking for international trade, and the prospects are very worthy, as Italy has the eighth largest economy in the world. The UK and Italy share a long-standing trade relationship, with Italy being its 7th largest European trade partner. Export to Italy currently stands at £10.7 billion, which is 3.2% of the UK’s total exports. The main goods that we export to Italy are cars, machinery, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, electronic equipment, technical equipment and natural gasses. The food and drinks sector is also very important to the Italian economy, and the UK's main drinks exports are; whisky, beer, wine and gin. It is straightforward for the UK to conduct business in Italy as there is a strong desire for learning the English language. However, it’s worth bearing in mind that most business is currently conducted in Italian, so speaking Italian as a second language will obviously go a long way in business here. The regulatory framework for both countries are the same, exporting to Italy is easy as all parties concerned will be working under the same regulations.

Export to FranceFrance is the closest of the three trade partners - Only a channel hop away from the UK.  The French traditionally have a very strong national identity, and have some resistance to outside cultures that pose any potential economic threat with export to France. However, the UK is among the top 10 countries which very successfully export to France, sharing a very good trade relationship. France is the world's fifth-largest economy with a large and diversified market within which to trade in. Export to France within the EU is every straightforward, due to its excellent internal transport network. Being a very popular tourist destination also makes it a hotspot for trade and commerce. The main business language is obviously French, so having French language skills or some form of translator will certainly stand you in good stead if export to France is your goal. France has high demand for technological and digital products and services. The UK's export to France is the second largest in the EU, with a total value of £21 billion (that’s 6.3% of total UK exports). The main goods we export to France are; aircraft, spacecraft, machinery, electronic equipment, vehicles, and mineral fuels.

Export to GermanyExport to Germany is even greater than exports to France and Italy, and worth a total of £35.8 billion (10.7% of the UK’s total exports). Our major exports are; machinery, vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, pharmaceuticals, and electronic equipment. Following Brexit there will be many changes that could affect export to Germany, such as;● Export rules and regulations will be changed. When exporting to EU

countries you will need to adhere to the same procedures that currently apply when exporting to non-EU countries.

● Whilst selling services to Germany, cross border trade, travel and visa requirements, need for a professional qualification, data protection may all be affected.

● The rules regarding travel to EU countries will change.

Certain categories of products may only be exported, subject to specific conditions being met.
