Trading Condition
In 2016 the UK exported goods and services to Germany worth over £30 billion with the Automotive and Aeronautical sectors accounting for nearly 20% alone. The good news for SME’s and individuals shipping to Germany is that part of success of our domestic exports is due to the robust road links and tariff free trade.
