Barrington Freight offers importation services between the UK and Connecticut that are backed by our membership of the British International Freight Association (BIFA). One of the New England region of states in the Northeast of the US, Connecticut enjoys great trade links with the UK and is a favourite among many British importers. In fact, Connecticut is well-known around the world as a technology leader, especially in the field of aerospace and electric boat manufacturing. Numerous consumer electronic products, including components like semiconductors for the flat screen industry, are also made there. Consequently, there are many different commodities that are available from suppliers in the state that appeal to British firms.

All too often, however, the logistical side of importing from Connecticut will put UK-based companies off placing orders. This can be especially true among smaller enterprises that will not necessarily have the in-house know-how to deal with getting orders out of places like New London, Hamden, Torrington and Waterbury and on their way to British shores. However, Barrington Freight is on hand to provide professional freight forwarding services between Connecticut and the UK. As proud members of BIFA, you can place your trust in our professionalism, helping to ensure your goods will arrive swiftly and in perfect condition.

Importing from CONNECTICUT (and the other way too)
Facing the Atlantic Ocean, there are numerous small harbours on the southern coast of Connecticut. In the main, one of the state’s three deepwater ports – Bridgeport, New Haven and New London – will provide the necessary facilities for container shipments to be sent. Typically, although by no means always, commercial goods will be sent to the Ports of New York or New Jersey before crossing the ocean to Europe. We can take care of all of the arrangements including collecting your consignment from your Connecticut-based supplier and onward transit in the UK once it arrives.

Brilliant EXW freight forwarding services from China to the UK. Professionally done, readily available for support, and our shipments were trackable. There were last minute issues on regards to customs clearance and redirecting of goods that we take responsibility for, but with their quick action, we were able to swiftly solve it all in much less than 24hrs.
