Importing from Slovakia to the UK
We provide prompt and professional road freight shipping, offering a range of services to suit all British importers with Slovakian suppliers. Our entire team consists of experts, including customs agents with years of experience in efficiently moving cargo across European borders into the UK.
Slovakia is a relatively small country of 5.4 million, but it is well located for trade, as it’s positioned in the heart of Europe. The local economy is dominated by various industries, including automotive, electronics, engineering, tourism, and a range of services. With an educated population and stabilised economic policies, there are ample trade opportunities between Slovak and UK businesses.
Another factor that makes things easier is English being popularly spoken as a language of business. This is due to several large UK companies operating locally, including Tesco, GlaxoSmithKline, Shell, Arlington, Tate and Lyle, BAE Systems and Allen and Overy. As a result, Slovakia endeavours to maintain close relations with the UK even in the post-Brexit trading environment.
