Importing from Delaware (and the other way too)
Facing the Delaware River, Wilmington Port offers convenient access to trading routes around the southern tip of New Jersey. From there, numerous ocean-going vessels can be accessed either for direct shipping or for transit to a larger container port on the East Coast, such as New York City. At Barrington Freight, we will work to your requirements so that your imports from Delaware make constant progress toward British waters where they will be unloaded and ready to travel onwards to your warehouse or customers. We take care of it all, including transit from whichever UK port your imports arrive at.

Guidance on Importing from Delaware and Clearing Customs
Please note that British importers buying commercial goods from companies in Delaware must have the necessary importation licence in place. Without one, your goods could be impounded by HMRC officials when they arrive in the UK. You will also need to declare your imports on HMRC’s online declaration system, something that will mean you will also require an EORI registration. At Barrington Freight, we can help you with all of these procedures because we have customs clearance agents working for us in-house.
Our declarations, VAT calculations and duty payments are all sorted out within the same team as our freight forwarding service, thereby helping to keep costs to a minimum. Equally, if you would prefer to just have us arrange the transportation of your Delaware imports for you and take care of the customs side of things yourself, then you can do so.
We are friendly, easy to work with, honest and we do not charge the earth.
