ALFED and the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade launch new whitepaper to support aluminium businesses trading internationally.

On Thursday 13th November 2025 at the ALFED Business Briefing, the Aluminium Federation (ALFED) and the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade (CIOE&IT) announced a new joint whitepaper designed to help aluminium businesses navigate the complexities of international trade, from customs classification and valuation to export controls, sanctions, and the incoming Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The announcement was made during a presentation delivered by Anna Doherty, Customs Practice Director at the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade, where she presented an exclusive preview of the Aluminium Trade & Customs Report, outlining key findings on export challenges and regulatory developments.

The publication, titled “10 Things to Consider When Importing and Exporting Aluminium”, provides practical guidance for companies of all sizes involved in global aluminium trade. It draws on insights from the Institute’s customs experts and ALFED’s trade and compliance specialists, offering clear explanations of key requirements, documentation, and risk areas affecting the aluminium supply chain.
