Rates are generally stable year-round with slight peaks before Christmas. All ExFreight quotes include origin charges, freight, and destination handling.
What post-Brexit customs requirements apply?
Post-Brexit, UK imports require customs declarations via CDS (Customs Declaration Service), an EORI number, and correct commodity codes. VAT (20%) is charged at import. Some goods need UKCA marking replacing CE marks. Postponed VAT accounting (PVA) available. ExFreight handles all UK compliance.
Which ports connect the USA and the UK?
US ports: New York/Newark, Savannah, Norfolk, Houston, LA/Long Beach. UK ports: Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool, Tilbury. Air routes: JFK→LHR, ORD→MAN, ATL→LHR, LAX→LHR. East Coast origin offers fastest transit times.
Can you ship Amazon FBA from USA to UK?
ExFreight handles full USA-UK logistics. We manage US pickup, export compliance, transit (air 1-2 days or ocean 8-14 days), UK customs via CDS, VAT handling, and delivery to any UK destination or Amazon fulfillment center. Post-Brexit expertise is our specialty.
What are UK import duties and VAT on US goods?
Post-Brexit, UK applies its own tariff schedule (UK Global Tariff). Most US goods face 0-12% duty. VAT at 20% is charged on all imports. Postponed VAT accounting (PVA) lets you defer VAT payments. ExFreight assesses your total duty exposure and identifies savings.
What post-Brexit documentation is required?
UK customs declarations via CDS require commodity codes, EORI number, and accurate goods descriptions. VAT can be deferred using postponed VAT accounting (PVA). UKCA marking replaces CE for the UK market on applicable products. ExFreight handles all documentation.
How do I reduce shipping costs from USA to UK?
Key strategies: ship from East Coast for shorter transit (8-12 days), use postponed VAT accounting, consolidate shipments, leverage UK trade agreements, use DDP Incoterms for simplified delivery. ExFreight instant rate comparison shows all options.
