FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does air freight from USA to the UK take?
Direct air freight 1–2 days to London Heathrow (LHR), Manchester (MAN), Edinburgh (EDI). Express courier: 24 hours door-to-door. Consolidated air: 3–5 days. Charter flights: same-day possible. HMRC clearance adds 1–2 days for non-expedited shipments.
Air freight: USD $3.50–$6.50/kg on direct flights. Express: $8–$15/kg for urgent cargo. Charter pricing on request for oversized loads. VAT 20% on customs value plus import duties (average 2–4% for most finished goods).
HMRC processes all imports. You need an EORI number (GB prefix), commodity codes, and customs value declaration. Permits from DEFRA (food/plants), MHRA (medicines), Trading Standards. VAT 20% collected at border. ExFreight handles all UK clearance end-to-end.
London Heathrow (LHR) — 70%+ of UK-US air trade. Manchester (MAN) — northern England hub. Also Stansted, Edinburgh, Birmingham, and Glasgow. ExFreight provides next-day road delivery across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Yes — Amazon.co.uk FBA from USA. Warehouse pickup, air transit, HMRC clearance, FBA delivery. FNSKU labeling same as US Amazon. Pallets: Euro 1200×800mm. Need UK VAT registration and GB EORI number.
