Trade between the UK and South Korea, one of the most advanced economies in the world, is strong. According to government figures published in 2022, some £13.3 billion of goods and services were traded with the Asian country in the previous year, an upturn of about 11 per cent. Of course, much of the goods that made up this figure were UK imports, especially automotive parts and consumer electronic goods, both sectors that South Korea is well-known for.
Nevertheless, there are plenty of British importation firms that would like to trade with South Korean suppliers but don’t have the necessary language skills or logistical knowledge to do so. This is when the services of Barrington Freight’s operations team can make all the difference. We deal with local logistics firms in South Korea to ensure sea-freighted goods pass through the country’s ports without any undue delays.
For example, we have extensive knowledge and experience dealing with the Port of Busan, South Korea’s principal port located at the southeastern end of the Korean peninsula. However, depending on where your supplier is located, we can also help with shipments to the UK via the Port of Incheon, the Port of Donghae as well as Masan and Gunsan ports, too.
