We offer the best transport solution at the most competitive rates. We can also assist with relocation services for factory and industry sectors providing optimal solutions with an emphasis on safety and reliability. We can deliver machinery worldwide, offering shipping and transport services door to door or port to port services. Please note that we don’t transport heavy plant machinery as we focus on smaller machinery cargo.

Export regulations from the UK have changed post-Brexit and incur additional customs paperwork, tariffs, and duties for machinery shipping, so it’s vital to ensure you know what to expect when exporting to and from the UK. To make this process easy and stress-free, we recommend using a freight company to handle the entire shipment to avoid issues that get machinery stuck at borders, costing time, money, and business.

Customs Clearance

You need an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) for the UK side, and you will need an EU EORI for importing into a European country. Other rules apply to various international locations. If you don’t have these organised, your shipment will face delays and increased costs when exporting goods, and they will not be able to clear customs.

International Exports

Over the years, we have exported a considerable amount of plant machinery all over the world. The types of machinery we move vary greatly, from shipping small pallets to larger machinery.

Licences

You will often need a licence to ship machinery goods and adhere to specific compliance requirements. It is vital to know what these are and obtain them before shipping. We have the expertise to advise on this if you need assistance in this area.
