Find out more about our presence at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
We’re attending Frankfurt Book Fair 2026
The Woodland Group team is looking forward to returning to Frankfurt Book Fair and meeting publishers, printers and industry professionals from across the world.
This year, we’re looking forward to conversations around some of the biggest issues shaping print and publishing supply chains – from building more sustainable transport and distribution strategies to navigating EUDR, changing customs regulations, tariffs and an increasingly complex international trade environment.
We’ll also be sharing how our specialist print and publishing teams can support international freight, customs compliance, warehousing, fulfilment and global distribution, while providing greater visibility and control across the supply chain.
If you’re attending Frankfurt Book Fair, come and meet the Woodland Group team to discuss your supply chain, the challenges you’re facing and the opportunities ahead.

Decades of Print & Publishing Expertise
For more than 30 years, Woodland Group has provided specialist supply chain solutions to publishers, printers, distributors and wholesalers. Our dedicated teams understand the critical path from bound book date to publication, combining international freight, consolidation, customs, warehousing, fulfilment and distribution.
With specialist technology providing title and ISBN-level visibility, we help publishing businesses manage complex international supply chains with greater control over cost, inventory and delivery.
Keeping Pace with a Changing Trade Environment
Tariffs, trade policy and regulatory requirements continue to reshape international publishing supply chains. Recent changes affecting trade with the US demonstrate how quickly the commercial landscape can move, and why understanding tariff classification, origin and the treatment of books and associated products matters.
Our customs and publishing specialists monitor developments across key markets, helping customers understand what changes mean for their supply chains and identify where action may be required.
Customs Compliance Built Around Your Supply Chain
Our customs specialists support publishers, printers and distributors with everything from customs clearance and tariff classification to duty minimisation, customs warehousing and wider compliance reviews.
We also produce practical guidance to help businesses understand key customs processes and opportunities. Explore our checklists and guides covering tariff classification, customs brokerage, customs warehousing, AEO and duty drawback.
