Exporting to Greece from the UK
Trade and importing goods is one area that has held its own regardless of the ups and downs experienced in the area. Barrington Freight is an experienced freight forwarder to Greece and the Greek islands, so trust us to get your cargo where it needs to go when you send it from the UK and can help with our excellent network of local agents and importers.
The diversification of private companies and continued privatisation of public assets in the region have provided UK companies opportunities. While more than 50% of Greek industrial activity is centred in Greater Athens, freight forwarding has a strong place far beyond, through the country to support industries including agriculture, tourism, construction, and shipping. As an EU country, haulage to Greece is governed by EU customs regulations which the UK is no longer covered by since it has left the single market. Post-Brexit means more paperwork, tariffs and customs obligations from the UK; however, your experienced European haulage expert can support you in making compliance a breeze and get your cargo quickly across the border. So whether you are looking to ship to Athens, the surrounding area, or further afield, contact Barrington Freight to find out how we can help you get started.

Customs and Duties
There is a myriad of customs regulations changes since Brexit, so be sure to speak to your freight forwarder or customs agent for the latest regulations that apply to your specific type of goods. In addition, UK shipments are now treated like any other foreign country in the European Union, so to avoid delays, be sure you are prepared.
Customs Declarations are required on all shipments. Although the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement allows for ‘zero tariffs’, this does not replace a Customs Declaration and only applies to Customs duties, but VAT will still be due. There are reciprocal agreements in place regarding VAT liability, including payment to the relevant government agencies. As always, it is best to speak to your customs agent for advice on tariffs, duties and VAT liability if you are unsure so you do not get any nasty surprises. When working with Barrington Freight, we have our in-house experts to guide you through the process and uncover any possible issues before they happen.

Brilliant EXW freight forwarding services from China to the UK. Professionally done, readily available for support, and our shipments were trackable. There were last minute issues on regards to customs clearance and redirecting of goods that we take responsibility for, but with their quick action, we were able to swiftly solve it all in much less than 24hrs. Fantastic experience working with Simon and his team, will continue to engage them for the foreseeable future. Thanks again Simon and the BF team!

What a superb company especially Simon Poole the agent who handled all my inquiries even worked over weekend to clear and arrange for my items to be removed from airline shed to save us storage charges Then when there were a little issue with the airline loosening items he dealt with it very quickly.
