Secure Your Sensitive Imports with the International Import Certificate (IIC)

Importing controlled goods into the UK? Make the process faster, smoother, and fully compliant with an International Import Certificate (IIC) from the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce your trusted trade partner for global success.

What is an International Import Certificate (IIC)?

An IIC is an essential document for importing ‘controlled’ goods, such as items listed on military or dual-use control lists. By obtaining an IIC, importers commit to bringing goods directly into the UK without diversion or re-export without an export licence helping maintain the integrity and security of global trade.

These controls are in place to prevent sensitive technologies and materials from being misused in Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) programmes, including chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons.
