Hi Anne, I would agree with Dawn, flat file is more common than XML for now. Lot's of legacy systems out there. You'll see more UK companies using XML than in Japan.
For smaller companies it's usually Excel attached to email... I don't know of any definitive resources, you might try the UK and Japan logistics associations for help.

It is much appreciated. Have you found XML not used in UK & Japan? What else is used for smaller Companies in UK & JP? The industry is logistics & freight forwarding & rail too... Are there any places I can read up on this?

For Japan \ it is a bit more complicated; EDIFACT is used by larger companies / importers and exporters for international EDI communications. Smaller firms don't normally support EDIFACT. Locally Zengen or CII is much more common. These are Japan specific double byte formats not widely supported outside Japan. If you are in Automotive there is also JAMA EDIFACT which is a localized version to support both international EDIFACT plus local double byte requirements.
