Sea Freight Imports
Our Sea freight import team ensures that importing your goods from any location is made easy, fast and economic.
From preparing quotations, calling forward your orders via our local office, arranging the most cost effective and reliable routing, through to customs clearance, cargo handling & delivery of your goods we control and report through every stage of the transport chain.
We customs clear via our expert personnel at every major UK seaport ensuring the fastest possible clearance and cargo availability. Our experienced team will be pleased to offer expert customs clearance advice to our customers ensuring that they make full use of the range of preferential import arrangements available.
We are experts in more complicated clearance procedures such as Import Processing Relief, Duty Drawback and other specialised clearance arrangements.
With our own ERTS bonded warehouses we can quickly move uncleared cargo from the expensive port areas to our own more cost effective storage areas thus avoiding heavy rent charges when there is a delay in obtaining the required clearance documentation.
We have our own range of trucks to arrange cost effective and reliable delivery to our customers’ requirements.

Sea Freight Groupage
Sea Groupage services is a major part of Embassy Freight UK. We are not just movers of LCL cargo but major players in the UK groupage market. In many trades throughout Asia, Africa & Europe we are loading our dedicated groupage containers on a weekly basis.
By utilising our direct and indirect groupage services customers can obtain substantial savings over other operators co-loading through NVOC operators.
The tremendous success of our groupage services has seen a major growth in this area of our business to where we are now one of the major groupage operators in the market.
Loading our own dedicated containers means minimised handling & links in the transport chain thus ensuring that your goods are monitored from door to door through one operation.
For cargo that does not justify a container of it’s own, or cargo left over from full container loadings we can offer a fast and cost effective solution for both export and import shipments.
