Freight Services When You Import from Bangladesh to the UK
At Barrington Freight, we offer flexible and reliable import services for goods from Bangladesh to the UK, tailored to meet the specific needs of your business.
- Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping: For larger consignments, our FCL sea freight service provides a dedicated container for your goods, ensuring secure and efficient transport to the UK. Ideal for bulk shipments, FCL ensures safe handling and a streamlined process.
- Part Container Load (LCL) Shipping: For smaller shipments, our LCL service allows you to share container space with other consignments, making it a cost-effective option. This solution, like FCL shipping, will take several weeks. Ask us for specific lead times. The transit times for sea freight from Bangladesh typically range between 47-50 days.
- Express Air Freight: For urgent or high-value shipments, express air freight is the fastest option, with transit times of approximately 3-4 days. This service ensures rapid delivery to major UK airports, followed by efficient transportation to your business.
- Standard Air Freight: Our standard air freight option offers a more cost-effective solution, with transit times ranging from 10-12 days depending on your specific requirements.
Importing from Bangladesh and European Trade Considerations
As a separate trading entity from the EU, Great Britain has its own importation regulations and British firms must follow them. Businesses that assemble products for export to EU markets must meet both UK and EU standards for regulatory compliance, however, with additional considerations for Northern Ireland due to its unique trade position under the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Helpfully, Barrington Freight supports businesses by dealing with customs processes, ensuring goods are cleared for use in the UK, Northern Ireland, or onward shipment to the EU.
