The network of chambers of commerce worldwide is synonymous with trade. In the UK, the British Chambers of Commerce network of accredited Chambers supports and advises businesses in all areas of international trade and exporting. We also offer links to British bi-lateral and International Chambers of Commerce, providing UK exporters with connections in new markets.

Through the network of chambers across the UK, and chambers across the globe, we offer companies export advice, facilitate introductions and networking, and provide them with the vital documentation needed to get goods shipped and get paid.

In addition, we host in-bound visits from companies seeking to buy or invest in the UK, and can provide you with connections to other organisations that can help you export.

Whatever you need to know about trading overseas, your first port of call should be the International Trade Team at your local Chamber. Whether you are just considering breaking into a new overseas market for the first time or you’re already an experienced exporter keen to develop your international operations, you will find knowledgeable staff keen to assist you at your local chamber. You can find your local chamber via the link on the right.
