Japanese Food Industry Relationships
Trade without the complexity.
International food trade requires more than moving a product from one country to another. XTN supports the practical requirements involved in cross-border food trade.
Specific requirements vary by product, origin, destination and regulations in force at the time of trade.
Opening new pathways between India & the UK.
XTN is building opportunities in both directions — bringing premium Indian food and beverages into the UK while helping British brands explore the Indian market.
A new chapter in UK–India food trade.
The UK–India Free Trade Agreement came into force on 15 July 2026, creating a new framework for trade between the two markets. UK–India trade was worth £48 billion in 2025, and the agreement provides for tariff liberalisation on originating goods according to the relevant tariff schedules.
XTN helps producers and buyers identify relevant opportunities and navigate the practical requirements of international food trade.
Trade benefits depend on the specific product, origin, HS code, rules of origin and applicable regulations.
Markets. Products. Opportunities.
