Importing from Massachusetts to the UK is made much easier when you turn to a professional freight forwarding firm. At Barrington Freight, we have the necessary expertise to deal with nearly all classes of imports from Massachusetts, a state that is known for its high-tech manufacturing sector. With a gross state product that has pushed towards the $600 billion level in recent years, there can be little doubt that British firms can benefit from manufacturing firms based in Massachusetts. Today, medical devices, paper-based goods, machined components and telecommunications products all make up a significant proportion of Massachusetts’ exports, many of them heading to the UK.

However, British importers often find the regulations and processes surrounding importing goods from the US to be burdensome. We have the necessary freight licencing in place to ensure goods pass through port authorities throughout the country, including the Massachusetts Port Authority. Not only that, but we can draw upon an established network of road haulage companies in the state to make sure your shipments are on their way to East Coast container ports from wherever they need to be collected from without delay.

Importing from Massachusetts (and the other way too)
Our local expertise in Massachusetts means we are just as adept at picking up goods from out-of-the-way locations in the state as we are from the major manufacturing centres, such as Springfield, Worcester, Amherst and Pittsfield, for example. What’s more, we cover the entire state, from Haverhill in the northeastern corner of Massachusetts to Great Barrington in the far Southwest. Generally speaking, goods imported from Massachusetts will be conveyed to the state’s main port, Boston. However, the larger port of New York is not that far away and so we also send shipments there if it means a more cost-effective service can be delivered.

Ensure Your Massachusetts Imports to the UK Are Unhindered
Whether your import from Massachusetts is urgent or a more sedate, groupage service is preferred, Barrington Freight’s professional operations team is on hand to ensure your goods are handled with the care they deserve. Note that some British importers who buy goods from suppliers in the state come unstuck when their shipments arrive in the UK. This is often down to a lack of awareness about what to do with customs declarations. HMRC may delay or even impound goods from Massachusetts if they are not accompanied by the proper paperwork. Helpfully, Barrington Freight can act as customs clearance agents on your firm’s behalf. We offer this service in-house so it is often better value for money to turn to us for this work as well as our freight forwarding service.
We’re friendly, easy to work with, honest and we don’t charge the earth.
