IMPORT / EXPORT

We are an import / export specialist, and identify international supply and demand and link the two together. We look for opportunities both as an agent, and as a supplier ourselves when we see goods that can be modified to be more suited to a particular market.

At International Imports we put a high value on reliability and correct processes. International trade requires awareness of various issues, and a specialisation in this area means we have a responsibility to navigate everything involved in cross-border trade, including (but not limited to):

• costs

• risks

• taxes

• logistics

• freight

• local customs

• tariffs

• duties

• licenses

• administration

• politics

• language barriers

• corporate referencing

• trade finance

• currency fluctuations

• non-competition

To ensure that we can successfully navigate through these areas and offer value and reliability, we have various steps we have taken to ensure that our business is well supported:

• We are a member of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

• Our trade agents have achieved advanced qualifications in Import / Export Management with ICI (International Careers Institute, Adv.Dipl.IE.ICI).

• In addition, we always use freight partners who are accredited with BIFA (British International Freight Association).

Our full-time overseas reps (fully qualified) are native English, and look for opportunities in foreign markets that can be presented to international buyers.

And finally, we are aware of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) to the environment and sustainability, and we contribute to and are a member of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), see more details here.
