ROAD FREIGHT SERVICES TO JERSEY

We can collect your Jersey-bound cargo from anywhere in the UK and ship it from Portsmouth straight to our depot in St Helier itself. From there, we will pull out all the stops to ensure a straightforward delivery experience. Once we know the Jersey postcode where the goods will need to get to, we will research the route. This way, we can work out the fastest and most cost-effective way of getting your delivery to its intended location as soon as possible. Furthermore, it means we can arrange for the correct type of van for the intended route. The whole point is to make the entire shipping process easy, whether your goods need to end up in St Brelade or St Aubin, Gorey or Grouville.

Please note that picking up goods or delivering them in Jersey does not necessarily mean being hampered by tight country lanes. The A1 and A2 trunk roads serve much of the island’s most populated areas in the south close to St Helier, Jersey’s historic capital. There again, the A13 and the A12 serve much of the island’s western side while the A9 and A8 both provide fast north-south routes. It is only in certain locations, such as St John’s Village or La Grève de Lecq where smaller vans might be the more viable options for onward journeys depending on the size of the load. Of course, should multiple runs be needed, we can offer this kind of shuttle service to make sure our Jersey freight services are successful.

Common shipping to Jersey routes include:

• UK – Portsmouth – Jersey
  • Ferry departures 3-4 times per week.
  • Road transport to UK ferry terminals, then onward transport to Jersey via roll-on/roll-off services.

Because Jersey is not officially part of the UK, it is not represented in the British Houses of Parliament. Therefore, freight to Jersey can be subject to Goods and Service Tax. Furthermore, depending on the goods being shipped to or from the island, VAT may also be payable. We can support your shipment and advise on any requirements depending on the goods you’re sending. This is because Barrington Freight is not just an expert in freight forwarding to and from Jersey but operates as a customs clearance agency, too.

Of course, shipments from Jersey to the UK may well be subject to inspections by UK customs officials. HMRC is the body that is responsible for such work but HMRC does not have the same jurisdiction in Jersey which is self-governing. Some of the rules can catch businesses out, especially if they are not aware of the different regulations in each of the Channel Islands that may apply. This is why turning to Barrington Freight can be so helpful, especially with regard to customs clearance work. Importantly, our customs clearance agents work in the same operations team as our freight forwarders. This way, we are able to offer a more streamlined approach to both sorts of services, something that makes procuring them more affordable than you might have thought.
