Our aim is to help British firms take advantage of business opportunities in China. We do this by providing support, information and advice throughout the exporting process. Commercial officers can produce tailor-made market reports for British companies, advise business people visiting China, help firms find local agents and distributors, and try to obtain publicity in the Chinese press for innovative products. They can also provide support for British companies seeking to win contracts for major projects in China. Some of these services are chargeable.

Details of the full range of services we offer to British exporters can be found on the China pages of the Trade Partners UK website in London.

The British Consulates-General in Shanghai and Guangzhou can also provide information on the market in those two areas.

Your first stop for export advice will usually be:
England: via your local 'Business Link'
Scotland: Scottish Trade International
Wales: via the National Assembly for Wales
N. Ireland: Trade International Northern Ireland
All areas: via the Country Helpdesk at the DTI
