Importing from Sweden to the UK

Sweden is a Scandinavian country in the north of Europe known for its breathtaking country, sights, culture and history. As an EU member country, it enjoys a stable economy that has grown steadily with low inflation and strong trade links, meaning the import and export sector is thriving. With famous exports like ABBA, IKEA and Volvo, it may be hard to think there is anything else, but there is so much more.
The vitality of the Swedish startup scene has thrown them into the international spotlight with modern-day innovation. However, the country has a legacy and long history of innovation via their investment in education and research projects that have developed the economy.
With a further focus on green technology, the creation of eco-friendly innovations that are internationally in demand, and government funding for sustainable industries, the exports from this sector are growing even more. Add to that other primary Swedish exports, including a range of machinery and transportation equipment, chemical products, rubber products, food, clothing and textiles, furniture and wood products. These products and many more make Swedish products attractive to import into the UK from Sweden.
So with all of the opportunities mentioned above for UK companies, importing innovative goods and products from Sweden into Britain makes sense. Even in the post-Brexit times, with additional border controls, tariffs and paperwork, there are still so many opportunities for trade, made easier by having an experienced freight forwarder on your team.
