Terms like the 'Silk Route' and the 'Amber Route' testify to the ancient roots of international trade, but its economic, social and political importance has increased in recent times.
For more than 200 years Edinburgh Chamber has been 'tracking' the expansion in international trade and the impact experienced by its members, as their growth strategies move them into direct competition with a new breed of business practices and ethics.
Edinburgh International Trade is the international activities division of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, serving the strategic and technical needs of the Lothian, Borders, Forth Valley and Tayside business communities, in partnership with Business Gateway.
Edinburgh International Trade is acknowledged as a market leader in the provision of support to both exporters and importers, and the diversity of our support portfolio qualifies us as a 'one-stop shop' for businesses seeking support and/or advice on any matter relating to international trade.
The services we deliver are not restricted to small to medium sized enterprises: over the years multinational corporations have continued to benefit from the expertise we provide, particularly in the field of global supply-chain management systems.
Edinburgh International Trade continues to bring innovation, not just to Chamber member support but also to Chamber methodology and processes. We are currently at an advanced stage of introducing 'Central Processing' to the activity of Export Documentation. This provision will substantially reduce the cost of processing international trading documents.
We are professionals in our area of activity, separating fact from fiction as we encourage and support the business community's pursuit of sustainable growth in the ever expanding global market place. Work with us and enjoy a new economic experience.
