Exporting to Hungary from the UK Made Easy

Hungary is a stunning country with green forests, rolling hills and mountain ranges. It is situated in the Carpathian Basin and is divided by the Danube and Tisza rivers. The capital city of Budapest, while popular with tourists, is also a hub of an industry that extends well beyond the city limits. It has preserved its historical atmosphere and towering spired cityscape while also being a modern and vibrant metropolis. Although Hungarian is linguistically separate from the other major European languages, trade is easy as English is also widely spoken.

At Barrington Freight, we specialise in offering comprehensive export services tailored to meet the unique needs of British businesses exporting to Hungary, so you can turn to us with confidence if you have commercial clients anywhere in the country. Whether you are shipping to Budapest, Debrecen or other key Hungarian locations, our expertise in road freight, customs clearance and logistics management ensures that your export operations are handled efficiently, enabling you to focus on your core business.

EU Membership: As a member of the European Union, Hungary benefits from harmonised regulations and standards, which simplifies the export process for UK businesses.

Exporting to Hungary From Outside the EU

Customs regulations for suppliers in a non-EU country, like the UK, can seem overwhelming. Nevertheless, a good haulage service provider or customs agent, like Barrington Freight, will save you time and money with their knowledge of the latest logistics legislation and requirements.

Today, all shipments to the EU from the UK are considered the same as any other international country consignment. However, it will need a Customs Declaration and two EORI numbers – one for the UK and another for the EU. Arrange these before sending so there are no delays.

Your goods may be eligible for “zero tariffs” via the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement but remember, approval for no tariffs does not mean exemption from customs paperwork. When working with our expert team, we will always advise on this and every other aspect of the shipping and customs process. You’ll find further Hungarian-specific information on the National Tax and Customs Administration of Hungary (NTCA) website.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barrington Freight handled our first import from China and made a complicated job feel simple. Simon Poole guided us through the customs paperwork, postponed VAT and commodity codes patiently, answering a great many questions from someone importing for the first time. Our delivery address is a narrow street with no forklift, and he arranged a smaller vehicle with a tail-lift so the crates could be offloaded by hand without difficulty. The shipment cleared ahead of schedule and, once we'd paid, delivery was arranged for the very next day with a time window confirmed in advance. Excellent communication throughout and genuinely helpful. Highly recommended.

 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.
