2022 CITIB Case: Crafts

In 2022, the Crafts Council designed and launched an International Toolkit, as a one-stop-shop to help makers and craft businesses be smart about selling and showcasing overseas. It is the result of consultation with BEISS, DIT, DCMS, HMRC, Trade Advisors, Craft organisations and industry experts.The toolkit is aimed at new exports; makers who have lost confidence in trading overseas; and UK craft businesses of any scale seeking up-to-date advice on the international export of craft.

The toolkit has achieved international recognition having been presented at the World Crafts Council’s Crafting Europe conference in Venice and Lisbon.
