Barrington Freight is the ideal company to turn to when arranging imports to the UK from Alabama. We have a raft of experience to draw upon for many classes of imported goods from the state and other nearby ones in the USA, such as Mississippi, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee, all of which border it. As British importing firms may already be aware, the major production centres in Alabama include Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and Montgomery as well as Huntsville in the north. However, please note that our skilled and knowledgeable operations team can handle the logistics involved with imports from any part of the state, including less well-known places, such as Winfield or Fort Payne, for instance.

Indeed, Barrington freight has a great deal of know-how to share when arranging shipments via Alabama’s principal port city of Mobile. Exported goods from the United States pass through Mobile Bay into the Gulf of Mexico all the time and will often make direct transit to British waters over the North Atlantic. Whether or not your import is urgent, we will do everything that is needed to ensure your goods are handled with due diligence both before they are loaded onto ocean-going vessels and afterwards.

Importing from Alabama (and the other way too)
Much of rural Alabama has an economy that has been historically based on farming, notably cotton, peanuts and soybeans. However, it also has a thriving manufacturing sector. Hyundai, Honda, Mercedes and Toyota all have significant production plants in the state, for example. Steel and rubber products, especially tyres, are made in Alabama among many other classes of products. As such, the state is one that British importers will frequently seek trading arrangements with suppliers that have a proven track record.

Customs Clearance Services for Alabama Imports
Any business based in the UK that wishes to import from suppliers in Alabama will need an import license and to be registered with the customs notification system, having been issued with an EORI number. All goods imported from the US require customs declarations, too. These have to be made for goods from Alabama just as they would be for any other state. The problem many smaller firms – and some larger ones, too – face is that they do not have the in-house know-how to deal with these declarations. However, we can take care of your shipments from Alabama to the UK and deal with the necessary paperwork, duty declarations, commodity coding and everything else. As freight forwarders, we keep our customs clearance work under one roof, thereby offering you an economy of scale.
We are friendly, easy to work with, honest and we do not charge the earth.
