You really ought to start talking to a few shipping agents about this matter. They will need quite a fwe details from you but will then be able to outline the exact costs and procedures involved.

A few shipping agents that may be worth contacting :-

Kuehne & Nagel

Schenker

DHL Global Forwarding

Geodis Wilson

DSV


Also, it may be an idea to speak to your local Customs officer and ask if you require an import licence to bring the goods in.


Hope this is of assistance to you.

They will help you in advising you of the costs involved in bringing your goods into the UK, also will arrange collection and shipment of goods for you.

They are large companies and are used to dealing with several hundred import jobs per week.

Approximate calculation
((cost of product + shipping cost ) * import duty rate + import handling charge) * 1.20 (for VAT)

You can ignore the VAT part if you are VAT registered but bear in mind it can still damage cash flow by taking up to 3 months to get it back

You may find that the profit margin is less than you expect

Think you also need to check, health and Safety, i.e. do they conform to UK standards.

The Online UK Trade Tariff is the easiest way to work our what the rate of duty is payable on your imports:

I hope this helps.

Another thing to consider is making sure you get the possible exchange rate and that you do not incur any fees for transferring money and, of course, making sure the transaction is done safely

Try these guys, in my experience very good
