International Trade

North Cheshire Chamber of Commerce is a major issuer of International Trade documentation

We help local businesses trade globally. In today's global trade landscape, exporting, importing and outward investment are key in driving growth, creating and safeguarding jobs, and enhancing a company’s competitiveness.

Why do you need documentation to trade internationally?

If you sell your products or services overseas, then you will need export documentation in some countries to clear customs. It can also be required as proof of origin to claim preferential duty rates or for banking purposes when payment is by Letter of Credit.

Letters confirming UK registration and/or Chamber membership may also be required to accompany tenders or contracts. Whether you require documents certifying, legalised, or an apostille by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), we are here to help.

Should your customer require their documents to be legalised by the Embassy, we are able to undertake the legalisation process, making it easier for you and your customer.
