sea freight imports from chennai to the Uk

Barrington Freight has the experience and connections to make importing goods via the Port of Chennai (INMAA) in eastern India a cost-effective and viable option. In fact, Chennai Port – formerly known as Madras Port – is the second-largest container port in the whole of the sub-continent with only Mumbai providing a larger facility for ocean-going vessels. As such, the port is an excellent choice for importers who have suppliers in any locations in eastern and southern India, including places like Bangalore, Hyderabad and, of course, Chennai itself.

The city of Chennai has many businesses that are engaged in global trade including numerous examples of those that export to the UK. As such, doing business with Chennai-based firms is relatively straightforward for British importers. Chennai is known for software production and financial services but it also produces IT hardware, medical products and various items that are of use in the automotive sector. Consequently, finding suppliers that already ship goods to the UK via the Port of Chennai is rarely a problem. What can cause a headache for UK-based firms, however, are the arrangements for getting goods onto container vessels at the port.

This is where our local expertise and knowledge of the customs systems in place at Chennai can give British firms such an advantage. We’ll even arrange for smaller orders to be grouped with others that are bound for the UK to make the costs associated with sea freight from Chennai that much more affordable. Call our operations team today if you have suppliers in southern India and would like us to sort out shipments via Chennai for you in a cost-effective manner.
