Please note that Barrington Freight does not only arrange imports from Iowa’s big cities, like Davenport, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Sioux City. We can also help you to import goods from suppliers located in less well-known places, such as Fort Dodge, Dubuque, Mason City and Ottumwa. As a landlocked state in the Midwest, Iowa does not have any seaports of its own. However, it is possible to send imported goods from any location in the state to Lake Michigan where container ports are located in cities like Milwaukee and Chicago. It is often quicker and more cost-effective to send goods from Iowa to the East Coast, however, where direct access to the shipping routes of the North Atlantic is possible.

Importing from iowa (and the other way too)
Although agriculture makes up a significant proportion of the economy of Iowa, it is manufacturing that is the largest sector. Typically, Iowan businesses generate over $20 billion of income from manufactured goods. That is one reason why so many UK-based firms want to do business with companies in Iowa, of course. Do not reject a potentially ideal supplier in the state because you think the logistics of getting orders from them to British shores will be a hassle. We have been making such arrangements for many years and can make importing from Iowa to the UK much easier than you might have imagined.

Clear Customs Checks When Importing from Iowa
Please note that it is not just for our freight forwarding work that many British firms trust us with their Iowan imports. This is because we are also skilled in customs clearance work. As your customs clearance agents, we will do everything that is needed to import goods from an overseas trading bloc, like the US. This will mean handling everything from EORI registration to declaring commodity codes suited to the class of goods you are importing. We can even deal with matters like VAT and duty payments on your behalf. We can combine freight forwarding with customs clearance work for firms that want it or keep the processes separate, as preferred.
We are friendly, easy to work with, honest and we do not charge the earth.

Brilliant EXW freight forwarding services from China to the UK. Professionally done, readily available for support, and our shipments were trackable.
