New International Trade resource offers 3 months’ free access

It’s an innovative new platform, packed full of content on all aspects of international trade, helping you make the most of the opportunities and highlighting the issues faced from cash flow to ICC Incoterms® 2020.

One-stop shop for FDF members

The Food & Drink Federation is represented on the OBD® advisory board and has been closely involved in designing the one-stop-shop element of the site. This way FDF members can stay focused on what they need to do to ensure they comply and continue to trade internationally, with advice and practical ideas to mitigate or eliminate the risks involved in international trade.

What can you expect from OBD®?

As an FDF member you can enjoy 3 months free access to the site, no strings attached. This will enable you to test the site’s specialised products, including:

• an Incoterm®2020 tool to guide you through the best terms for you and your customer
• Single invoice insurance for many EU countries
• An Ask an Expert helpline.

All the facts at your fingertips
