Export Translation in Brussels: hub.brussels, Awex and International Distribution Contracts

Brussels Entreprises, via the hub.brussels agency, supports more than 500 companies in their export activities every year. The Brussels Region, dominated by services, digital industries, and the creative sector, exports solutions, expertise, and high-value-added products across the globe. For these businesses, translating commercial and contractual documents is a key step in their international expansion.

hub.brussels and Awex

hub.brussels is the Brussels agency for supporting companies going international. It offers economic missions, participation in international trade fairs, and export diagnostics for Brussels-based SMEs. Its regional counterparts - Awex (Walloon Export and Foreign Investment Agency) and Flanders Investment & Trade : cover Wallonia and Flanders respectively.

Companies supported by hub.brussels often need translations as part of their internationalisation efforts: adapting their commercial brochures, translating technical proposals, and bringing distribution contracts or general terms and conditions into compliance with local law in the target country. TranslateBE works in partnership with these bodies to offer fast, high-quality translations to expanding Brussels-based SMEs.

Common export documents

Brussels-based exporting companies - whether in digital, consulting, food, or life sciences - have specific documentary needs depending on their sector:

• Distribution and commercial agency contracts : essential for securing relationships with local partners; to be translated and adapted to the law of the target country
• General Terms and Conditions of Sale (GTCS) : must be available in the language of the target market to be enforceable against foreign buyers
• Technical data sheets and product documentation : CE standards, safety data sheets (SDS), instruction manuals, which are subject to statutory language requirements in many countries
• Commercial proposals and quotations : presented in the prospect's language to maximise conversion rates
• Conformity certificates and attestations : ISO, CE, Organic, Halal, Kosher; certified translation is often required by foreign importers
• Multilingual commercial correspondence : emails, letters of intent, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)
