Ship anywhere, from any country to any country.

No. We are a UK-based shipping agent, but the network is global — we arrange FCL, LCL and air freight from any country to any country. That covers imports into the UK, exports out of it, and cross-trade shipments between two countries where neither end is the UK, such as China to the United States or India to Canada.

Yes, both are core services. Tell us the origin country and city and the destination country and city on the quote form, and we work out the direction from the route — import, export or cross-trade — and handle the booking, documentation and customs formalities at both ends.

FCL (Full Container Load) gives you exclusive use of an entire container, which is usually better value once your cargo fills roughly 15 cubic metres. LCL (Less than Container Load) shares a container with other shippers' goods and charges only for the space you use, priced per cubic metre or per 1,000kg, whichever is greater. You do not need to work the volume out yourself — enter your carton sizes on the quote form and we calculate it.

Sea freight transit varies by route — typically 3–7 days between nearby European ports and 25–40 days on Asia-Pacific and Australian lanes. Air freight is much faster, usually 1–4 days airport-to-airport. Every country page lists indicative transit times per port; transit for your exact origin and destination is confirmed at quote stage.

Yes — we're a licensed customs brokerage. We handle HS code classification, duty and tax calculation, import/export documentation, and entry filing at both origin and destination.

We strongly recommend it. Ocean and air carrier liability is limited by international convention and rarely covers the full value of your goods. Our cargo insurance covers the declared value of your shipment for a small percentage-based premium — add it as an option on the quote form.

A container is priced as a flat rate per box for your lane, plus terminal handling charges at both ends, a documentation fee and a bunker/currency adjustment factor. The ocean rate alone is rarely the whole cost, so we quote an all-in landed figure rather than a port-to-port teaser you would have to add to later. Rates shown on this site are indicative estimates; a firm figure comes from a quote.

Every shipment needs a commercial invoice, a packing list and a transport document — a bill of lading for sea freight or an air waybill for air. Beyond that it depends on the goods and the lane: a certificate of origin, an export licence, fumigation or phytosanitary certificates, or dangerous-goods declarations may apply. We tell you which apply to your shipment before booking rather than after.
