Trading

Why do I only receive trade offers for surplus in my capital province and not other provinces? is that the only trade goods I can sell to other countries?

You sure thats the trade-offers you get or the loose-surplus warning?

The capital is special in that you get an empire-wide bonus from a tradegood you have at least 1 surplus in the capital, so the game gives you a warning if you would trade that last surplus-unit away.

And to answer the question, no you can trade away any surplus good any province produces, if you have buyers depends on how many and what states you have in trade-range and the value of the trade-good.
The basic food stuff will be harder to sell then for example juwels, incenses or silk, and if you play an irish chieftain your will have way less trade-partners then when you sit in the middle of the agean sea.

What i'm saying is I only receive offers at the top of the screen to buy goods from Latium my capital, an envoy wants to import iron from Latium this will net me 0.50 but I have iron in other provinces that I could sell but no offers.

using any mods?

Because as I said, in the vanilla game you can sell any good you have more then 1 unit of in a province, its not limited to the capital province

[Turncloak]

No mods.

I play Invictus and have never had this problem. The AI will usually avoid asking me for the capital surplus unless they either don't have another option or those options they do have are "unreliable" (e.g. low loyalty provinces).

It's possible the reason you only see trade offers for Latium is because you've changed the settings to automatically accept all other trade offers, so the only requests you're seeing are the few the AI are making for your capital surplus.

No it's got an X next to it automatic trade is disabled. Maybe the other countries just dislike me or don't want any of my stuff, I got loads of iron and trade goods though and not a single trade offer outside of Latium

Sounds kinda weird, you could try to sell the Iron from Latinum and see if then any other trade-offers for Iron come in.
Or activate the auto-trade and block the capital surplus and then check if the automatic gets it sold.
