Freight to United Kingdom – Fast & Reliable
Freight Forwarding to the United Kingdom – Brexit Customs, Quality and Reliability Since Brexit, the United Kingdom is a third country — meaning every shipment from Germany to the UK requires full customs clearance. NexCargo handles this entirely for you. Our experienced Brexit customs specialists prepare all required export declarations (EX-A), UK Import Declarations and EORI documentation. You don't need to worry about anything. Our network has strategic depots in London (Heathrow corridor), Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow — giving us full coverage across England, Scotland and Wales. Typical transit time is 3–5 business days from a German shipping address. Important for UK shipments: commercial invoice, packing list and Commodity Code (UK Tariff) are mandatory. Our customs team will advise on correct HS code classification and goods value declaration. For shipments over £135, UK Import VAT (20%) applies — this is usually borne by the recipient.
Whether Pallet Shipping, Oversized Freight, Direct Runs or International Shipping – every consignment is fully insured and traceable via real-time tracking. Calculate price now.

Shipping to United Kingdom: customs, route, transit time
Customs and documents
Since Brexit the United Kingdom is a third country: every consignment requires an export declaration, an import declaration and an EORI number on both sides. You need a commercial invoice with commodity codes, proof of origin for preferential treatment under the trade agreement, and a complete description of the goods. Incomplete paperwork is the most common cause of delay.
Route and transit time
Allow three to five business days — driving time is shorter, but customs clearance on both sides of the Channel is added. Goods movements run through the GVMS system, which requires pre-notification before the vehicle reaches the port. Northern Ireland is subject to separate arrangements; state the destination region explicitly for consignments there.
Typical consignments and coverage
Typical goods are machinery and spare parts, automotive supplies and retail goods for e-commerce. Because of the customs effort, bundling into larger consignments pays off: a pallet with ten line items involves the same customs work as a single carton. England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are served — the Scottish Highlands, the islands and Northern Ireland add surcharges and one to two days of transit.
