International trade plays a crucial role in enhancing Scotland’s competitiveness and reducing economic inequality. It creates a wealth of opportunities for Scottish SMEs looking to export their goods and services globally. With a rich history as a trading nation, Scotland has long been at the forefront of international commerce. Exporters drive our economic growth, and without them, Scotland’s economy would not thrive as it does today.
At the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, supporting international trade locally, nationally, and globally is one of our top priorities. As part of the British and International Chambers network, we connect businesses to over 350 qualified specialists and Chambers worldwide, providing unparalleled support for international trade.
How We Support International Trade
One of our key roles is to help ensure the smooth passage of UK goods across international borders. The Chamber Network facilitates this by certifying the origin of goods, reducing the likelihood of overseas customs authorities delaying shipments. Last year, the network facilitated £16 billion worth of trade, enabling British businesses to succeed globally.
At the Edinburgh Chamber, we offer tailored documentation services to help local businesses grow and expand into new markets. From export certification to expert advice, we are here to support your international trade journey.
