Let Our Export Documentation Services Work for You

Point to Point Export Services

If your company is:

  • expanding into new overseas markets
  • streamlining its current export procedures
  • or recovering from a bad export experience

Then Point-to-Point can help you achieve export success and greater profitability.

Once you have found that overseas customer, we manage the complete export documentation process, translating international contract terminology, clarifying export procedures and establishing payment facilities.

Our approach is hands-on until completion and relieves you of the uncertainties of dealing with export documents yourself. Any issues arising are resolved along the way, leaving you to get on with what you do best while saving you time and expense.

If you’d like to enable your business to handle its own export requirements reliably, you can choose one of Point-to-Point’s mini-training courses in international trade procedures. Geared specifically to your company’s interests, these are held at your premises and share best practice in international trade with your staff.

Our current training programme includes courses on letters of credit, international commercial terms (incoterms) 2000 and international credit control.
