Custom Clearance Imports to Manchester Airport

In fact, Manchester Airport also handles numerous flights from freight operators, too. Indeed, such is the level of cargo operations at the airport that it has its own terminal dedicated to freight movements. Future plans for the airport’s expansion include further cargo handling facilities, such as the growing demand for them in the Northwest region of England.

At Barrington Freight, we have a wealth of knowledge that British importers can draw upon for dealing with cargo flights landing at Manchester Airport. We have an in-depth working knowledge of the World Freight Terminal at the airport where cargo is handled and also, crucially, where it is inspected by customs officials. Of course, goods need to be checked on arrival to the UK to make sure they are not contraband items. However, all commercial imports will also be inspected to make sure they match their importation documents. If not, or the person importing them isn’t registered with a proper EORI number, then goods can be delayed until their paperwork is sorted out. In the worst cases, consignments can be impounded and never reach their onward destination.

Given that many importation companies don’t have the expertise they need in-house to make sure accompanying paperwork is correct before it is inspected at Manchester Airport, using a customs clearance agent is the perfect solution.

The team at Barrington where incredible at delivering our goods on-time despite the new Brexit regulations on goods being imported. We even didn't pay tax on the returning shipment coming back to German.

Brilliant service. Extremely helpful, and they supported us all the way through the process of transporting goods to mainland Europe, which for anyone who hasn't done that before can seem quite daunting. Would definitely recommend using this company.

We are very satisfied, we would like to thank the team for this with an awesome rating! They handled the delivery of a very sensitive, valuable, gigantic pallet for us at a fair price and without any problems. I mean, out of 4 companies, only they were able to undertake it. Nothing is damaged! We recommend the company to everyone :)

Fantastic service from Barrington Freight. It was our first time exporting goods from the UK and it was very reassuring to have them manage the shipment. The process was made easy and hassle free and Simon was always quick to respond to any queries. I would highly recommend.
