One solution is to draw a rectangle over your artwork in the dimensions you require for your export, then with the object selected go to Object > Crop Area > Make.
(Alternatively, choosing this option without drawing the rectangle first will default to the artboard size)
When you export your work as a Tiff or Jpeg it will be cropped to these dimensions.
Another solution is to draw your rectangle at the desired dimensions, then with your objects selected use the 'Crop' button in the Pathfinder window.
I've yet to discover how to use this second solution without it wiping out any gradients or transparencies from the objects though!
