FOCUS ON: EXPORT DOCUMENTATION


Many exports require documentation for legal and commercial reasons. The Chamber's experienced and dedicated team provides a fast documentation service and bespoke carnet and letters of credit service to help you export successfully. The Chamber has a proven track record


in this crucial area of international trade and recently won the prestigious Excellence in International Trade award at the British Chambers of Commerce awards. The award, sponsored by DHL, recognises the Chamber’s success in supporting businesses to trade overseas, an element of which was issuing over 22,000 export documents a year for clients to accompany over £500m worth of goods. Types of Documentation Services provided by the Chamber’s award-


winning team include: • EC and Arab British Certificates of Origin • Movement certificates to gain preferential duty rates in selected countries; these are EUR1 and A.TR documents


• ATA Carnet for temporary exports of exhibition equipment and commercial samples to save on costly import duties in selected countries


• Letters of Credit service from checking to full presentation avoiding costly delays when getting paid

Acting as a natural bridge between Latin America and the United States while covering a land mass approximately the same size as Western Europe, Mexico offers significant export opportunities in a range of sectors. With an economy closely linked


to its US neighbours, Mexico inevitably felt the effects of the 2008 global financial crash, with GDP falling by -4.7% in 2009. Since then, output has rebounded, with projections for steady if unspectacular growth of 1.8% and 2.5% in 2017 and 2018 respectively. The long-term projections for the


Mexican economy are much more positive. The International Monetary Fund currently ranks Mexico as the 15th largest economy in the world, predicting it to rise to fifth place by 2050 and overtake both the UK and France by 2030. As part of a series of major


reforms and initiatives, in May 2014 the Mexican government released a National Infrastructure Programme outlining the major programmes and projects intended for execution by 2018. In total, the government

anticipates nearly $600bn in infrastructure investment to occur during this period from a mix of federal, local and private sources. Many projects are already underway and offer ideal opportunities for the East Midlands’ expertise to be applied. Mexico’s credentials as an


outward-looking, business-friendly nation are evidenced by the fact that it has more active free trade agreements than any other country


in the world. With 12 free trade agreements allowing favourable trading terms with 44 countries, Mexico is an inherently pro-free trade nation. The World Bank also ranked Mexico as the easiest country to do business with in the Latin American region in 2017. Since the establishment of the


North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994, Mexico has secured investment from manufacturers around the world keen to take advantage of a youthful and comparatively low- cost labour force. The main subsector within


manufacturing is the automotive industry, in which Mexico is the leading exporter in the Latin American region and eighth-largest in the world. Opportunities also exist in the aerospace industry, and Mexico is also home to many of the world’s largest clothing, white goods and electronics manufacturers. It is also a source of students for


the East Midlands’ many renowned universities. Some 1,965 Mexican students were based in the UK in the 2014/15 academic year, with many choosing Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire universities. East Midlands exports of goods


to Mexico amounted to £50m in 2016, with plenty of opportunity for growth in the coming years. Fifty- eight per cent of exports came from the sectors of transport and machinery equipment, reflecting the strength of these industries for the region, while also highlighting a Mexican demand for British goods. The East Midlands imported
