Dedicated hotline and online service launched 1^st Oct 2021 - for UK exporters

New export ‘telephone hotline’ and ‘online service’ will help more British businesses to export to Europe. This “one-stop-shop” brings together UK government information, making it easier for exporters to access advice and support.

Following extensive engagement with businesses, the Department for International Trade (DIT) is making it easier for exporters and those considering exporting to access the information they need to export to the rest of Europe.

From queries around rules of origin to guidance on recognising professional qualifications and entering new markets, the Export Support Service will provide a single point of contact. It will help exporters navigate a range of complex information simply and quickly.

Europe is a key destination for high-quality UK goods and services. In 2020 alone the UK exported £288bn worth of goods to Europe – with medicinal and pharmaceutical products and cars among the top 5.

International Trade Secretary – Anne-Marie Trevelyan said, ‘we are listening to the needs of businesses and that’s why we’re launching this fantastic new one-stop-shop service, making it easier for British companies to export to Europe. We’re focused on helping exporters fulfil their potential. Having a dedicated export support team at the end of a phone ready to help will ensure they can access the information they need and get on with the job of selling their world-class product and services abroad, in turn helping the UK to build back better.’
