At Barrington Freight, we have been handling UK exports to the United States for many years, including working with British firms that send goods to Minnesota. As accredited members of the British International Freight Association, we have the necessary skills to ensure that British exporters will experience a reliable and swift service from professionals. We are able to handle numerous classes of exports, from clothing to machinery and from automotive sector components to books and other publications. Our operations team is geared up for Minnesota exports in other categories, too, so simply ask us about any exporting requirements you may have and we’ll be happy to discuss your commercial priorities.

Please note that we are able to offer our UK-based customers a high level of local knowledge in Minnesota, something that not all British freight forwarding firms can claim. In other words, it will not matter to us whether you have customers buying products, materials and spare parts in big cities, such as Minneapolis, Rochester or Saint Cloud, or in more rural locations, like Thief River Fords, Grand Marais or Albert Lea, for example. Our local contacts among logistical operators in the state mean that we can often provide highly competitive transportation quotations in Minnesota that will beat what could even be arranged by US firms.

exporting from Minnesota (and the other way too)
Equally, our experience with trans-Atlantic shipping means that we will arrange the most cost-effective sea route for your cargo from the UK. Whether your goods pass through the Port of Liverpool, Immingham, Felixstowe or elsewhere, we’ll make sure that they make landfall in the US at a suitable port for onward transit to Minnesota. Routes via the East Coast, such as container ports like Baltimore or New Jersey are often preferable, but it sometimes also makes sense to send items via the Great Lakes. After all, Minnesota’s port of Duluth on Lake Superior provides direct access for smaller vessels. Whichever route for exporting to Minnesota is selected, please note that we will always offer a fast, dependable and cost-effective choice.
Why Ask Barrington Freight to Manage Your Minnesota Exports?
We offer fast courier services to Minnesota as well as somewhat slower, but much less costly LCL shipments. By grouping your export to Minnesota with others heading to this part of the United States, goods become much more competitive to US firms. Indeed, this service often works out to be almost as fast as arranging a full container (FCL) delivery. Call or email us today for a chat or to organise a free quotation.
Clear US Customs Without Delay When Exporting to Minnesota
Part of the service at Barrington Freight includes our expertise in international customs arrangements. We have the licenses that are needed these days to arrange shipments by air or sea between Europe and North America, including UK exports to Minnesota. If you do not have the in-house skills to manage customs declarations on your own, then turn to our operations team to manage the whole process of shipping to Minnesota on your behalf. We will be happy to ensure all of your paperwork is in good order, thereby minimising the risk of customs officials querying your shipment or even causing a delay to its onward journey.
We are friendly, easy to work with, honest and we do not charge the earth.
