Export to Sweden With Barrington Freight’s Expertise at Your Disposal
The Scandinavian country of Sweden is a member of the European Union, with a strong economy and vibrant history and culture. It is located in northern Europe, known for its breathtaking country, sights, culture and history. There are exceptional transport links around the entire country with roads that remain passable throughout even severe weather events that would be problematic in other countries.
The country is divided into three major areas: the south is Götaland, Svealand lies in the middle and the north is known as Norrland. All of these are accessible for trade from the UK. We will either send lorries laden with British goods to Ejsberg in Denmark for onward transit or, in many cases, route shipments to France or the Netherlands. Either way, you can expect top-quality services from Barrington Freight for any export to Sweden you need to arrange.
At Barrington Freight, we specialise in providing reliable export services for British businesses shipping goods to Sweden. To begin your export journey to Sweden, contact us at 01268 525 444 or request an online shipping quote.

Exporting to Sweden From Outside the EU
Exporting to Sweden from outside the EU involves being aware of customs regulations and VAT rules ever since the UK left the EU’s Customs Union. Businesses must ensure their goods comply with Swedish and EU standards, for example, which may involve providing specific documentation, such as a commercial invoice and customs declaration. An EORI number is mandatory for all exports to Sweden. You will need to register your business for one before you can begin exporting to Sweden.
