Numerous British businesses would like to trade with companies based in one of the most southwestern states of the US, Arizona, but do not because they are not sure how to handle the logistical side of placing orders there. As skilled freight forwarders with a wealth of know-how handling imports from Arizona, we can take the hassle out of ordering goods from suppliers in this part of America. We have been working in international shipping for decades and, therefore, our expertise is second to none when it comes to arranging imports from Arizona.
Given that Arizona does not have a coastline – it borders Mexico to the south, New Mexico to the east, Nevada to the west and Utah to the north – you might think that international shipping from this part of the world is problematic. However, it is worth bearing in mind that Los Angeles, in southern California, offers an ideal place to manage containerised shipping from when trading with firms based in Phoenix, Tuscon or Kingman, for example. Barrington Freight has the necessary network to have goods collected from any of these locations in Arizona – and many more besides – and to have them loaded onto ocean-going container ships at the Port of Los Angeles, one of the biggest in the world.
Importing from Arizona (and the other way too)
From there, goods will typically travel south to the Panama Canal and across the Gulf of Mexico towards the North Atlantic. Alternatively, shipments can be sent the other way around the world and enter British waters via the Far East and the Suez Canal. Either way, we will select the fastest and most cost-effective service so that you can get your imports from Arizona to the UK in an efficient manner. Bear in mind that Arizona has some high-tech companies in the field of defence and aerospace manufacturing based there. It is also a centre of semiconductor manufacturing excellence with Intel, for example, being one of the state’s major employers. As such, there are numerous opportunities for British businesses that choose to trade with suppliers in this part of the US.
Arizona Imports – Why Ask Barrington Freight to Help?
We have decades of experience dealing with imports from Arizona and other US states. Whether you need assistance with customs, logistics or coping with trans-Atlantic trade more generally, we will deliver.
Customs Declarations When Importing from Arizona
Whether goods are directed to a West Coast port in the US or travel by road to board a vessel in the Gulf of Mexico at a port like Galveston in Texas or New Orleans in Louisiana, they will still need to pass official checks by customs officers. We have the licensing in place to help British importation firms throughout the whole of North America. As well as this sound reason to choose our freight forwarding service from Arizona, we can help with import customs declarations, too. This will mean registering the import with HMRC so that any checks that are made at their port of arrival will merely confirm what is expected and not cause any further queries or delays.
