At Barrington Freight, we provide world-class freight forwarding service to British importers who purchase goods from US companies. This means we are ideally placed to handle imports from Illinois to the UK, as well. Bordering Wisconsin, to the north, Iowa and Missouri to the west, and Kentucky and Indiana to the east, Illinois benefits from a major port in Chicago. In fact, the Port of Chicago is a complex of different port facilities that handle international and other forms of cargo. If your supplier is located in Chicago, or close to the city, then it often makes sense to send imports to the UK through it.

However, this is not the only option when it comes to Illinois imports. Sometimes, it will make more sense to use a road haulage company to ship goods to one of the big container ports on the eastern seaboard of the US, such as New York or New Jersey, for instance. This might be the case if your supplier’s warehouse or production facility is in a southern part of the state, such as Carbondale, Mount Vernon or Effingham, for example. There again, large population centres, such as Bloomington, Springfield and Peoria can all benefit from road hauliers serving the coast. We will assess the situation and make a decision that keeps costs down while ensuring a swift importation service from Illinois is maintained.
