Air Cargo Between HK and the UK
Finding a reputable company to arrange air freight to Hong Kong can be daunting. Finding a highly skilled, knowledgeable and professional company to carry out air freight services from start to finish can be difficult. Thankfully, here at Barrington Freight, we have a proven track record in air freight from the UK to Hong Kong. We aim to help any UK-based business seeking a reliable partner for air cargo to Hong Kong.
Having helped many customers over the years, we know that people are looking for affordable and cost-effective solutions. We also understand that there’s a certain assumption that Hong Kong air cargo is much more expensive than average. While air freight may initially seem more costly than sea freight, the steep reduction in insurance costs and travel time will often make up for this difference.
However, these aren’t the only benefits of air freight to Hong Kong. Aside from air freight being the quickest way to send goods internationally, it is also a hugely versatile method. From time variations (e.g. express air freight to Hong Kong along with regular air freight) to the sizing of your shipment (packages may vary from very small to shipping pallets), air freight can quite literally cater to your individual needs.

Dealing With VAT and Imported Air Freight
Customs, Duty and VAT for Hong Kong Freight Forwarding Services
VAT ON AIR FREIGHT IMPORTS BETWEEN UK & HONG KONG
For UK businesses importing via air freight from Hong Kong, managing VAT efficiently is crucial. VAT is charged upon entry and must be accounted for through the ‘Postponed VAT Accounting’ system, which allows VAT to be deferred until the VAT return is filed. This enhances cash flow and simplifies financial processes. Keeping meticulous records is essential for accurate VAT reporting and reclaiming any potential credits.
IMPORT DUTY FOR AIR CARGO BETWEEN UK & HONG KONG
Understanding import duties for air cargo arriving from Hong Kong is vital. Duties vary based on the commodity type, value, and origin. Accurate classification of goods using the appropriate commodity codes is crucial to determine the correct tariffs.
