At Barrington Freight, we have spent years helping to organise shipments from the USA to the UK and this includes plenty of imports from Tennessee. If you would like to import goods from Tennessee but are unsure about the best way to arrange shipments from the landlocked state, then feel free to speak to us about your particular requirements. You will find that we have a wealth of knowledge to share when importing from the US. As such, we can help your business to save time as well as money.

Given that Tennessee has a reasonably large manufacturing sector – it was worth well over $25 billion per annum just a few years ago – there are many British companies that would like to buy goods that are produced in the state. In particular, Tennessee is associated with the production of beverages. That said, it also has a vibrant computer equipment manufacturing sector as well as being a large-scale producer of transportation equipment and consumer electronic products. If you find a supplier of goods in the state but rely on them to organise a shipment to the UK for you, then it can be costly. This is where our freight forwarding service can be so advantageous.

Importing from tennessee (and the other way too)

Given our local knowledge of Tennessee, importing from there becomes much more straightforward from any part of the state. In other words, we do not simply manage local logistics in the big cities, such as Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga – we can also help out if your supplier is based in places like Johnson City, Clarksville, Kingsport or Murfreesboro, as well. Indeed, we will make sure your order is collected and transported for you to a suitable seaport on the East Coast – often faster than our American counterparts would be capable of.

Trust Us With Your Tennessee Importation Procedures

We are members of the British International Freight Association. This means that Barrington Freight prides itself on its professionalism, know-how and customer service, something that not every UK-based freight forwarding firm can say. Email or call us today to find out how our service can help your Tennessee importation processes to run more smoothly.

Rapid Entry of Imports from Tennessee to the UK

Thanks to our licensing in international freight management, Barrington Freight can ensure your consignment will pass through US border checks by customs officials without any significant delay. Tennessee imports are often loaded onto container vessels at ports like Charleston, Wilmington or Baltimore but others are available. Trust us to make the most cost-effective choice that does not cause hold ups.

Please bear in mind that our experienced operations team can also take care of UK customs declarations, if wanted. All Tennessee imports must be accompanied by the appropriate paperwork if they are to enter the UK legally. We will take care of this for you within the same team to provide you with a single point of contact for both types of service. Nevertheless, if you prefer to handle your own importation paperwork for goods from Tennessee, then there is nothing to stop you.

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

Barrington Freight handled our first import from China and made a complicated job feel simple. Simon Poole guided us through the customs paperwork, postponed VAT and commodity codes patiently, answering a great many questions from someone importing for the first time. Our delivery address is a narrow street with no forklift, and he arranged a smaller vehicle with a tail-lift so the crates could be offloaded by hand without difficulty. The shipment cleared ahead of schedule and, once we'd paid, delivery was arranged for the very next day with a time window confirmed in advance. Excellent communication throughout and genuinely helpful. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Service. Lee organised a last minute pickup from Sweden back to England. The shipment was under Carnet. Very good professional service at a competitive rate! I will be using them again.

Excellent service from start to finish. Simon at Barrington Freight handled our crate of mechanical machine parts from the UK to Canada with exceptional care, keeping us informed throughout. His Canadian agent also arranged customs clearance, making the entire process straightforward and stress-free. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic experience importing our goods from Florida and honestly couldn’t fault the service. The quote was quick and easy, booking was straightforward and everything was handled smoothly from start to finish. As this was our first import we needed a bit of guidance along the way but Simon was brilliant. He took care of everything, kept us updated throughout and was always on hand to answer our questions. What seemed like a complicated process was made incredibly simple and stress free. The customer service was excellent, communication was spot on and our shipment arrived without any issues. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable freight forwarder. Thanks again for making our first import such a positive experience!

We needed to get a shipment out to the USA quickly and Simon made the whole process far easier than we expected. Communication was straightforward, we were kept updated throughout, and everything arrived on time without any issues. It's refreshing to deal with someone who knows exactly what they're doing and gets things done. We'd happily use Simon again for future air freight shipments.

We had a time-critical air freight shipment coming in from China to the UK and Simon was a huge help in getting it over the line. Right before arrival, an issue came up due to a mistake from the airline, which could have turned into a real headache. Simon picked it up straight away, dealt with it quickly and managed to sort everything without any extra costs on our side. Really solid support throughout and easy to deal with, especially given the urgency. Another great job by Barrington Freight - we’ll definitely be using them again!

Good service during a turbulent global shipping period. Special thanks goes to Lee for his efficiency and proactive updates and for rescheduling a delivery in less than 24hrs when the haulage company didn’t read their own paperwork and sent a lorry without the requested tail lift. Highly recommended.
