As a registered charity, we exist to empower UK and international organisations and equip individuals with the expertise to trade compliantly, sustainably and commercially.
We achieve our purpose by building expertise and collaborating with UK and international partners, regulators and stakeholders to facilitate the acknowledged mutual benefits of free, legitimate, and frictionless international trade.
The Royal Charter was conferred on us by His Majesty King Charles III in December 2023. This is the highest accolade that can be granted to a professional body and is an acknowledgement of the distinguished role of the Chartered Institute and its members in empowering global trade.
