Shipping from the UK to USA

Shipping cost from UK to USA

It is worth being aware of some of the shipping costs that will apply for different shipping methods. Below are two examples, one for Sea Freight and one for Air Freight. We will typically give you a single ‘all in’ figure but are happy to break the costs down if you prefer. FREIGHT $1000 – This will usually be given in USD and is often likely to be the biggest cost. EMERGENCY RISK SURCHARGE $30 – Standard LOW SULPHUR SURCHARGE $30 – This is new and is helping to reduce environmental damage by forcing ships to use cleaner fuels. UK HAULAGE £490 – This is the cost for collection from you to the UK port. UK TERMINAL HANDLING £150 – this represents costs incurred at the port EXPORT CUSTOMS £40 – this is to process the customs paperwork UK DOCUMENTATION £35 – this is for additional vital documentation.

To make sure you are as prepared as possible to keep your supply chain running smoothly it is always worth consulting the latest government information which you can find here: gov.uk The US Market Products made in Great Britain are in high demand in America due to a strong reputation for quality manufacturing. Food and Drink exports from the UK to the USA totaled £2.2 billion in 2018 and the US is the UK’s second largest buyer of food products. The US is the the planets largest tech market representing over 30% of the global market and was worth over $1.5 trillion in 2019. The USA spent around $3.5 trillion on medical and healthcare products and services in 2019 and is the world’s biggest spender in this sector and current trends indicate that this trend is likely to grow. America has many biotech and pharmaceutical companies that provide opportunities for UK organisations to sell into their supply chains and again this is another growth market in the US.
