UK Launches Service to Help Companies Avoid Trade Barriers

The United Kingdom’s Department for International Trade launched a service it said will help companies identify overseas trading barriers and find “new trade opportunities,” it said Dec. 21. The digital service will allow users to search for information on trade barriers imposed by other countries that could restrict business and investment activities, it said. The service also will highlight new areas that may present business opportunities. The “new database will be regularly updated” to show the latest barriers.
