Many British firms enjoy good trading relationships with Louisiana-based firms – or would like to – but suffer because of the way their imports are organised from the state. At Barrington Freight, we offer a comprehensive freight forwarding service for British importers who have suppliers in the United States. Let us help you to manage the logistics associated with Louisiana imports. After all, we have been dealing with imports from Louisiana for many years and have the experience that many firms need to streamline their current processes.

Please note that Barrington Freight’s operations team does not just deal with imported goods from Louisiana’s main urban centres, such as New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette. We have a wide network of road hauliers we can call upon to pick up goods from suppliers in other parts of the state, too. As such, it does not matter whether we are tasked with dispatching goods from production facilities and warehouses in places like Monroe, Ruston and Shreveport in the northern part of Louisiana or smaller settlements nearer to the coast, such as Morgan City, Lake Charles or Oberlin. At Barrington Freight, we will ensure your goods are handled professionally and transferred to a nearby seaport for shipment to the UK without any undue hold ups.

Importing from louisiana  (and the other way too)

Of course, because Louisiana is on the Gulf of Mexico, imports to the UK can be transferred directly. South Louisiana Port, New Orleans and Baton Rouge all handle container shipments. However, it will sometimes be more cost-effective for us to arrange for a road transit of your Louisiana imports to a large East Coast Port, such as Savannah or New Jersey, for example. This will depend on the weight and bulk of your consignment, of course. Nevertheless, the key thing to take on board is that our expertise in freight forwarding will mean you will get the most cost-effective option for your imports without compromising on the time it takes to receive them.

Importing from Louisiana With Successful Customs Clearances

We are licensed to operate in Louisiana and other parts of the US which means we can ensure your goods pass through US customs without unnecessary delays. Please note that your Louisiana imports can be held up when they arrive in the UK, however. If you have not completed your UK customs clearance declaration fully or properly, then HMRC can impound UK-bound imports from Louisiana. Instead, why not ask Barrington Freight to handle your customs declarations on your behalf? This additional service can save a great deal of time and money given our high level of technical expertise in this field.

We are friendly, easy to work with, honest and we do not charge the earth.
