Custom Clearance Export from Felixstowe

All exporters based in the UK must make export declarations and be registered to do so with an EORI number when shipping goods via the Port of Felixstowe to any international destination. This includes the 16 or so sailings per week to the Port of Rotterdam from Felixstowe because the Netherlands is, of course, an EU member state.

Bear in mind that completing customs paperwork is often technical and can lead to unnecessary hold-ups at the border if it is not fully complete or contains errors. That’s why having expert customs clearance agents, like Barrington Freight, complete your paperwork for you can be so beneficial. We’ll make sure that you have made the right declarations in terms of commodity coding and so on so that customs officials have no reason to delay your shipment(s) as they make their way onto container vessels or truck-carrying ferry services.

We will handle the technical side of your paperwork including the master reference number that will be needed so that your shipment can arrive without any hold-ups in your expected schedule, thereby helping to keep your customers in Europe and beyond happy.

Customs Clearances for Sea and Road Exports at Felixstowe

Given how much trade goes on between the UK and the rest of the world through the Port of Felixstowe, it is important to make sure that your goods are ready to be shipped onward as soon as they arrive there. We will advise you of what you need to do if any export licences or certificates will need to accompany your consignment given the rules that may apply to certain classes of goods.

We also have extensive experience with the operations of customs officials at the Port of Felixstowe as well as the National Export System that is used by exporters to notify HMRC of exports. We’ll be able to advise you when the government’s Customs Supervised Export (CSE) simplification system is appropriate to use and when it is not. In short, we will make sure your goods continue their onward journey by road as soon as possible by getting them over the North Sea rapidly in the first place.

We’re friendly, easy to work with, honest and we don’t charge the earth.

As well as working as experts in customs clearance services at Felixstowe, Barrington Freight operates as a top-rate freight forwarding firm. As such, you can take advantage of our operations team’s expertise in both organising shipments via the port and clearing them to pass through the checks that will be made at the border. Because both services are carried out by just one team, your exports will be handled directly by us at every stage, helping you to save both time and money.

HAVING USED MANY SHIPPERS TO IMPORT OUR GOODS FROM THE USA (NONE OUTSTANDING) I DECIDED THIS TIME TO HAVE A SEARCH AROUND TO SEE IF I COULD FIND A BETTER OPTION. I FOUND BARRINGTON FREIGHT AFTER EMAILING MANY OTHERS, SOME OF THEM (UPS,DHL,FEDEX) SIMPLY TOOK SO LONG TO CONTACT ME, THAT IT BECAME STUPID, SIMON AT BARRINGTON CAME BACK TO ME VIRTUALLY STRAIGHT AWAY WITH A VERY GOOD PRICE, ALSO GOOD SHIPPING TIMES. NOW A SERVICE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE RESULTS, AND THEY WERE AS GOOD AS THEIR WORD. HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND THEM AND SIMON AT BARRINGTON FREIGHT WILL BE THE FIRST PERSON WE GO TO NEXT TIME, WELL DONE!!
