Services


Sea Freight

We help customers find ocean solutions that are customised to meet their unique requirements. We provide third-party solutions with excellent Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCC) or direct with Shipping Lines that cover different sea container types, as well as consolidation services with reliable sailings to ensure your cargo reaches the right place, at the right time and in the most cost-effective way. 

Airfreight

While airfreight is a premium and potentially costly service, it’s often the only option for products required urgently. We can offer a comprehensive range of international air cargo solutions that will fit your individual cargo needs with high-level visibility. 

Land Freight

Whether you need road transport, rail transport or both, we can provide third-party land shipping solutions to meet your business needs. We can improve the performance of your current freight provider, optimise the costs, provide transparency and address your freight challenges. Our focus is to make your international freight forwarding as cost effective and efficient as possible. 

Importer of Record 

 We provide Importer of Record (IOR) services for foreign importers and take care of every phase of the importation from customs clearance to the payment of duties and taxes. As the IOR for your products we are responsible for all paperwork relating to import of your products, customs classification and we will arrange the payment of duties and taxes.  

Customs Clearance

We can guide you through the customs process, ensuring you have the correct documentation to enable rapid customs clearance of shipments arriving at ports and airports across the world. 

Outsourcing

We have a passion for helping businesses with limited resources to manage their import and export activities. This includes companies that simply can’t import or export items themselves, for all manner of reasons. Whatever the case, when it comes to outsourcing, our priority is to always be there for a company that requires  support. Read more...

Warehousing

We provide our customers access to accredited UK warehousing  and a network of International partner warehouses across the globe. Your goods are important to us and will be  housed in fully secure facilities.

Customs Warehousing

Our customs warehouse solutions allow goods to be stored with duty or import VAT payments suspended. While these payments will need to be made once the goods leave the warehouse, they can be a cost effective tool for importers and exporters to use. 

Logistics

Looking for ways to cut costs is key for any business to survive. The efficient moving of products to their final destination is a great area to cut costs in. We can become your trusted partner, helping you maximise the cost-effectiveness of your logistics while still helping you to ensure good service for your customers.

by Ian Simmonds 07 Feb, 2021
A manufacturer in Germany supplies EU qualifying products to a GB company and zero tariffs applies. The GB company places the products within their common stock warehouse and later they are purchased by a company in the Republic of Ireland. Under the TCA rules of origin for preferential trade, these goods when imported into Ireland are not covered by the agreement and full tariffs apply.
Guidance updates for certification of POAO exports to the EU  and Northern Ireland
by Ian Simmonds 23 Jan, 2021
Not having clearly defined export / import processes with the EU caused unnecessary documentation issues resulting in long delays at the ports and some vehicles being sent back to the UK. Exporters of food products from Great Britain (GB) were especially impacted due to their Export Health Certificates (EHCs) not being compliant with EU import regulations. Food exporters and their Official Veterinarians complete and issued these certificates in compliance with the directives of the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs.
