Barrington Freight specialises in helping British firms to import goods from South Dakota in an unfussy way which means trading with suppliers there becomes much simpler. We have been handling international freight shipments from this part of the US – and elsewhere – for many years. Therefore, we have the experience that is needed to manage all aspects of South Dakotan imports for a wide range of commodity types. Based in Essex, we know what British importers’ priorities tend to be and our importation service can be tailored to meet particular deadlines or commercial requirements whether you are based in Scotland, South Wales, the Midlands or anywhere else in the country.

Because South Dakota’s economy is primarily agriculture-based, there are numerous food and beverage manufacturing companies in the state. However, with a wider manufacturing sector that makes a significant proportion of the state’s annual turnover, South Dokatan firms make many high-tech products and components, too. Imports from South Dakota to the UK tend to be made up of electronic items, consumer computer products, light machinery and spare parts. As such, many British firms would like to import from suppliers in the state. However, the trans-Atlantic supply chain involved can put some UK companies off.

Importing from south dakota (and the other way too)

Thanks to our operations team’s local knowledge in South Dakota, importing from the state is easier than you might think. Indeed, because we deal with logistical companies there all the time, we can often find better rates for shipping goods than even your supplier(s) in the state would be capable of. Typically, goods from South Dakota will be transported to an East Coast seaport that handles container shipments to the UK. Alternatively, we can send your order(s) to the West Coast and have them forwarded to the UK via the Panama Canal. Either way, our service is geared up to help you obtain your consignment(s) quickly and cost-effectively.

Rapid Customs Clearances for South Dakotan Imports

At Barrington Freight, we have the licenses that are needed to book international freight that crosses borders. In the case of South Dakota imports, this will mean ensuring your goods are not delayed by US customs officials as they are loaded onto an ocean-going vessel. Once they arrive in the UK, your imports will also need to be checked, however. 

This process is often much faster if you have prepared your customs declarations in advance, submitting them online with HMRC’s digital system. Given many importers in the UK struggle with this, it is worth noting that Barrington Freight can operate as customs clearance agents on your behalf as well as providing you with a freight forwarding service from South Dakota. Even better, both services are handled under one roof to ensure coordination and better results.

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