China Import ~ Shipping from China ~ Import from China


We can offer a professional service for your imports from China through a network of agents and partners.


At first glance, shipping from China can appear to be quite complex and confusing however, with careful selection of a good freight forwarder, the process can be made very simple and hassle free. If you are thinking of importing from China, or are unhappy with your current freight forwarder, please give us a call to discuss your requirements.

We can import from all of the major ports, including Beihai, Dalian, Dandong, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Haikou, Hankou, Huangpu, Jiujiang, Lianyungang, Nanjing, Nantong, Ningbo, Qingdao, Qinhuangdao, Rizhao, Sanya, Shanghai, Shantou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Weihai, Wenzhou, Xiamen, Xingang, Yangzhou, Yantai, and Zhanjiang.

We will need to ask you a few questions about the details of your import from China, so please try to have the following information at hand:

  • Weight and dimensions : you should quite easily be able to to get the accurate details of the overall weight and dimensions of your consignment from the supplier in China
  • Terms of sale : this is very important when working out what charges you will have to pay - there are several different terms, all of which have 3-letter acronyms, including CFR, CIF, CPT, DAF, DDP, DDU, EXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, etc.

    For example :


  •     - EXW (ex works) means that the buyer bears all costs and risks involved in taking the goods from the seller's premises to the desired destination (ie. the minimum obligation for the seller).

        - FOB (free on board) means that the seller is responsible for all local charges in China, including delivery to the port and any terminal handling charges at the port. Once the goods are on board the ship, the buyer assumes responsibility for all charges and risks from that point.

        - DDP (delivered duty paid) means that the seller bears all costs including taxes, duty and delivery to the buyer (ie. the maximum obligation for the seller).

  • Urgency : generally, imports from China take approximately 4 to 5 weeks by sea freight and 3 to 6 days by air freight. There is naturally a considerable difference between the two costs and therefore you need to determine how quickly you need the goods back in the UK.
  • Customs/duties : every individual product has a unique tariff code - a 10 digit commodity code that is used to identify the rates of Duty/tax payable for that particular product - your supplier should be able to tell you this. Once you have the correct ten-digit commodity code, the HMRC National Advice Service (NAS) will be able to quote the correct rate of duty, VAT and any excise duty to be paid.


  • If the consignment is particularly large/volumetric or sensitive and you are not sure of the most efficient container size please look at our guide to container sizes for full details.

    Barrington Freight made it very simple for us to move a valuable marine engine from Cento Italy to St Sampson Guernsey.
    No fuss, sensible delivery date which was kept despite several strikes / port closures which Simon managed to navigate around, well done !

    We find the service from Barrington Freight is First Class, (based on the size of shipments we have coming over from Belgium and Germany). We appreciate that the size of our shipments may only be 2 or 3 pallets the delivery service is excellent and arrives within 5 working days from placing the order.

    Thank you for your excellent service and I will be in touch again.

    We needed some urgent client paperwork collected from our offices at 7pm at night and delivered to Manchester at 8am the next day. We called Barrington Freight and they organised it for us. We were kept well informed at all times and their price was very modest. We would like to thank Matt and Simon for all their help.
