I just have a second, but, yes, UK wizards would trade with others.
Here's a snippet from the Lexicon that would back it up.
Trade Restrictions:
Class A Non-Tradeable Goods (e.g., dragon eggs) (FB)
Class B Tradeable Materials (Dangerous and Subject to Strict Control) (e.g., Erumpent horn) (FB)
Class C Non-Tradeable Substance Venomous Tentacula seeds (OP9)
Ban on Importing Flying Carpets (GF7) (classified as a Muggle artifact)
In addition, there's this about Percy. Percy spent a lot of time while working in the Department of International Magical Cooperation writing a report about the need to standardize cauldron thickness to prevent the market being flooded with defective thin-bottomed imported cauldrons (GF5).
So I think you can assume that there is trading going on between the wizarding communities.
