Empowering manufacturers to overcome trade barriers

The manufacturing industry is navigating a dynamic global trade landscape. From adapting to political changes and managing supply chain complexities, to addressing skills shortages and ensuring regulatory compliance, the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade stands as your trusted partner for navigating trade barriers.

For example, we're providing members with in-depth support with the EU's Digital Product Passport (DPP) regulation. Our Special Interest Group for manufacturers, February Lunchtime Learning series, and technical helpline provide a unique package of support for business members preparing for the EU's DPP.

Unlock solutions to your biggest challenges

Our members' feedback gives us unique insights into the challenges manufacturers are facing. This enables us to provide practical solutions – our learning, support and networking opportunities will guide you and your team through the short-term challenges and help you implement long-term strategies for trade growth.
