Custom Clearance Imports to Newcastle Airport
This makes it the ideal airport for many businesses that import from overseas suppliers in the region. It is also a convenient airport to use for imports if you intend to ship items directly to your customers in locations like Scotland, the Northwest and even further afield. Newcastle Airport Freight Village handles much of the cargo shipments that pass through the airport. Since about 2005, cargo shipments through the airport have shot up dramatically. Various cargo ground handling agents operate from the airport coping with a monthly average of around 450 tonnes of freight each month.
Of course, to get your consignment to Newcastle International Airport will mean procuring the services of an air freight operator but getting them through customs once they have touched down in the UK is another matter. All sorts of things must be checked on arrival including the EORI registration number of the importer. Matters like duty, excise and VAT will all be expected to be fully declared on the importation paperwork as well. Bear in mind that this now includes imports from European Union countries since the UK left the EU’s customs union. To make sure they get their paperwork in good order prior to it being inspected by HMRC, many British importers make use of Barrington Freight’s expertise in customs clearances.
To be clear, we operate as professional customs clearance agents at many locations throughout the UK, including Newcastle Airport.

Why worry that you have made an error with your commodity code or VAT declaration when we can take care of these things for you? Importation businesses that make errors with their documents will often find their consignments don’t pass through the airport as quickly as they otherwise would. Why wait when we can ensure a much faster transition?

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience importing our goods from Florida and honestly couldn’t fault the service. 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.
