The United Kingdom retains advanced-manufacturing depth in pharmaceuticals (the largest single export sector by value), aerospace (Rolls-Royce, BAE), automotive (Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, McLaren, Aston Martin, plus contract assemblers), specialty machinery, food and beverage (Scotch whisky, premium dairy, baked goods), defense electronics, and design-led fashion. Manufacturing clusters around the Midlands (automotive, machinery), the North West (chemicals, pharma), Scotland (whisky, food, life sciences), and London (fashion, design, fintech-adjacent hardware).

Post-Brexit, UK exports to the EU now require customs declarations, Rules-of-Origin proof for preferential tariff treatment under the TCA, and (for many goods) UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking alongside or in lieu of CE. The MHRA regulates medicines and medical devices; the FSA regulates food; the Office for Product Safety and Standards covers consumer goods.

よくある質問

Do I still need CE marking to import UK-made goods into the EU?

Yes, CE remains the EU's required conformity mark. UK-made goods sold into the EU need either CE marking with an EU-based Authorised Representative, or assessment via an EU notified body. The UKCA mark is the UK-domestic equivalent and is not recognised in the EU.

How do I verify a UK company registration?

Search Companies House (find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk) using the 8-digit company number. You'll get the registered office, directors, persons with significant control, filed accounts, and any insolvency markers, all free and machine-readable.

What is BRCGS and why do UK food exporters cite it?

BRCGS (formerly British Retail Consortium Global Standards) is a private certification scheme that's the de facto entry ticket for UK supermarket private-label programmes and is recognised by GFSI alongside FSSC 22000, IFS, and SQF. Look for BRCGS A or AA grade for top-tier facilities.

What's the VAT situation for B2B exports from the UK?

UK B2B exports are zero-rated for VAT provided you hold proof of export (CMR, B/L, or air-waybill) within 3 months. The supplier should issue an invoice with their UK VAT number and a 'zero-rated export' line. EORI numbers are required on both sides for EU shipments.

Are there sanctions restrictions for UK exports?

Yes, the UK operates its own autonomous sanctions regime under OFSI (HMT) and trade-licence regime under ECJU (DBT), parallel to EU and OFAC measures. The UK Sanctions List is the authoritative source; reputable UK exporters screen end-users against it before shipment.

Look up the company on Companies House (find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk).

For pharmaceuticals/medical devices: confirm MHRA manufacturer's licence (MIA / WDA).
For food: verify BRCGS, SALSA, or FSA-approved establishment number; check FSA Food Hygiene Rating.
Validate ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 via the IAF CertSearch global registry; UK certificates are UKAS-accredited.
Cross-check against the UK Sanctions List (gov.uk/government/publications/the-uk-sanctions-list).
