All British importers who have suppliers in Kolkata – the capital city in West Bengal State – should be able to access a reliable pallet shipment service that is both secure and cost-effective. This is exactly what we offer at Barrington Freight. Our operations team is well-versed in shipping commercial goods from all over India including the Port of Kolkata (INCCU). Given that the city is particularly associated with engineering firms, pharmaceutical manufacturing and other high-tech industries, there can be little wonder why so many UK-based firms eye Kolkata and its surrounding areas as one where suitable suppliers can be found.
Given its location, it is worth noting that Kolkata is navigable for many types of container vessels from the Bay of Bengal via the Hooghly River. As such, even though it is not on the coast, it offers convenient access to the shipping lanes that criss-cross this part of the Indian Ocean. Palletised goods being sent to the UK will typically need to be conveyed around the southern tip of the sub-continent before passing on to the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic and, finally, the English Channel. We’ll arrange for a suitable route for your pallet or pallets from Kolkata and make sure that once they’ve been cleared by UK customs officials, the onward journey to your business premises is handled swiftly, as well.

Delivery from kolkata
Please note that, at Barrington Freight, we have our own, in-house customs clearance agents. This is worth knowing if you currently outsource your customs clearances to a third party or are completely new to importing. Either way, combining your freight forwarding needs with your customs clearance obligations under one roof makes sense, simplifying your processes and offering an economy of scale, too.
Kolkata Pallet Shipments of All Sizes Handled Professionally
We deal with all sorts of commercial goods, specialising in machinery, gym equipment, books and clothing among many others. As expert freight forwarders who are members of the British International Freight Association, we also have a network of reliable agents in India who we work with frequently. This way, we can handle very large palletised shipments of several containers worth of goods as well as much smaller ones. As such, we deal with both FCL and LCL palletised shipments from Kolkata to the UK on a regular basis.
We can also deal with the entire shipment process for you under EXW arrangements or pick up your pallets once they’ve passed Indian customs checks at the Port of Kolkata under an FOB shipment. In short, we offer a great deal of flexibility for all types of trading arrangements.

Brilliant EXW freight forwarding services from China to the UK. Professionally done, readily available for support, and our shipments were trackable. There were last minute issues on regards to customs clearance and redirecting of goods that we take responsibility for, but with their quick action, we were able to swiftly solve it all in much less than 24hrs. Fantastic experience working with Simon and his team, will continue to engage them for the foreseeable future. Thanks again Simon and the BF team!
