British firms that have trading partners in the state of Michigan can import directly to the UK thanks to Barrington Freight’s reliable freight forwarding service. The state is well-known for its production of beverages, automotive sector parts, information technology products and a raft of other manufacturing niches. As such, UK-based firms often want to buy goods from Michigan suppliers but worry about how to go about importing items made there. This is where our expertise in US imports and, more specifically, Michigan imports can make such a difference

To begin with, our service will determine whether using one of the state’s own ports on the lakes is useful or not. These are primarily – although not exclusively – used for cargo freight and raw materials. Manufactured goods, therefore, will often be sent to a port on the eastern seaboard of the US before boarding a vessel to convey them over the North Atlantic to the UK. We’ll use a local haulage firm that has knowledge of the area you need your goods collected from. Our operations team, based in Essex, has the know-how to deal with shipments from all of the major urban centres in Michigan, such as Detroit, Grand Rapids and Lansing. However, we can also arrange for goods to be collected from smaller locations – like Midland, Benton Harbor or Kalamazoo, for instance – and for them to still be handled with the same care and professionalism they deserve.
