Advice & Guidance

If you are trading internationally,  it can be challenging with all of the various aspects of international trade and this can be very daunting for those who are  relatively new to it, but one of the bigger challenges is “where do you go if you need to find the answer?”

We have a range of  services that can help your business, give you reliable and accurate sources of information and connect you with experts within their field who are happy to assist.

 

Country Information Guide

The rules and customs requirements for each country differs so it is vitally important that you understand the these before your export your goods. It is always recommended that you speak with your clients about their own documentation requirements before shipping and within a reasonable timeframe to make sure the moving of your goods easier.

We have created a selection of Country Information guides, based on the top 12 export destinations for Surrey businesses. These guides will inform you of the documentation requirements for each country as well as other useful information. If your country is not listed below, please contact us on 01483 735540 or e-mail export@surrey-chambers.co.uk

 

Documentation Advice

Incomplete or incorrect trade documentation can result in additional costs, delays at the port of entry, impoundment of the shipment and financial penalties. It is important that you fully understand your obligations and the required documentation before you ship any goods to any country.

Our documentation guides have been produced to help you to understand some of these requirements and to help answer some of the more common questions.

If you are looking for an organisation with a membership of like-minded business owners sharing common interests with a willingness to support colleagues, then in Surrey Chambers you have found what you are looking for. With caveat that yes, you have to put the work in to attend the meetings, thoroughly recommended.

During that time we’ve received support in the form of training and business community links, we’ve expanded our local network and we’ve had opportunities to promote our SME IT services to the wider Chamber membership by supporting and sponsoring events and providing keynote speakers to talk about IT and employer issues.

Membership of the Surrey Chambers keeps our finger on the pulse of what matters to business and it grounds us in reality. The variety of businesses we get to meet and hear from through the Surrey Chambers events (previously face to face and now online) enriches our knowledge and broadens our perspectives and ensures we continue to shape our services and offerings to meet our client’s needs.

I was recently at the Surrey Chambers Power Breakfast at Sandown Park Racecourse what a fantastic venue and breakfast. There was a good group of people, all with ‘can do’ attitudes as well as an engaging speaker. I obtained a number of new contacts and received further networking opportunities. I also felt that I had come from the breakfast having learnt something new which is a big bonus!

Adrian Shanks Surrey Business School

Our membership of Surrey Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in the growth of our business. It's opened many doors and so much of our new business can be tied back to a SCC introduction. We recommend joining the chambers to all of our micro/SME clients looking for funding, networking and brand awareness.

I attended the Heathrow Summit conference and had the great good fortune of spending some time with Gary Hayes & Andy Willmott who were a real credit to the Chamber. If anyone is wondering whether being a Chamber member could help their business know this, they helped me with their knowledge of local contacts and we're in Cornwall! Thanks for your time fellas and keep up the good work!
