Customs Clearances for Exported Goods
Because dealing with customs clearances is a highly skilled job, not that many British export firms have the necessary know-how to ensure their goods won’t be held up by customs officers while issues with declarations are resolved. This can cause a substantial delay at Edinburgh Airport if the paperwork is not in good order, to begin with. At Barrington Freight, we will complete your customs clearances for you so that there is no reason for HMRC to hold your consignments up, thereby allowing them to pass through unhindered to the airside cargo handlers.
As a leading customs clearance agency in the UK, we work with numerous Scottish exporters who make use of the various air freight service operators working at Edinburgh Airport these days. Our expertise will mean that we can handle every aspect of your exportation documents whether you are shipping items to the European Union or to clients in trading territories further afield. Given the airport’s location, close to the economic centre of Scotland, it is hardly surprising that so many goods are sent for export through one of the busiest air hubs in the UK. If you want to ensure that your shipments are not delayed at the international border while clarifications and problems are sorted out, then turning to Barrington Freight is likely to be your best option.

The quote was quick and easy, booking was straightforward and everything was handled smoothly from start to finish. As this was our first import we needed a bit of guidance along the way but Simon was brilliant. He took care of everything, kept us updated throughout and was always on hand to answer our questions. What seemed like a complicated process was made incredibly simple and stress free. The customer service was excellent, communication was spot on and our shipment arrived without any issues. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable freight forwarder. Thanks again for making our first import such a positive experience!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a time-critical air freight shipment coming in from China to the UK and Simon was a huge help in getting it over the line. Right before arrival, an issue came up due to a mistake from the airline, which could have turned into a real headache. Simon picked it up straight away, dealt with it quickly and managed to sort everything without any extra costs on our side. Really solid support throughout and easy to deal with, especially given the urgency. Another great job by Barrington Freight - we’ll definitely be using them again!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good service during a turbulent global shipping period. Special thanks goes to Lee for his efficiency and proactive updates and for rescheduling a delivery in less than 24hrs when the haulage company didn’t read their own paperwork and sent a lorry without the requested tail lift. Highly recommended.
