important information about cargo SHipping to The UK

Cargo Shipping To UK
The United Kingdom (UK) draws tourists from all over the world, and it is a
popular place for people to immigrate.
If you are one of the many people interested in moving to the UK, you can ship your household belongings and vehicles with few restrictions.
You can ship household goods to the UK duty free if you have owned them for at least six months
and keep them in your possession for the year following their import.
Regulations For Cargo Shipping To UK
The United
Kingdom does have a few cargo shipping regulations to consider before
you make plans for moving to the
UK. Here are some
examples of items that are restricted from shipment to the UK:
- Weapons, drugs or obscene material
- Radio transmitters
- Cordless telephones
- Meat and dairy products
- Endangered animals
Meat and dairy products are prohibited from cargo shipments to the UK because they may carry certain diseases that could
negatively impact the country’s environment.
Endangered animals are not allowed to be imported to the UK, and this includes their byproducts such as
shoes, clothing, purses, and belts.
Also, it is not advisable to bring food into the UK because your cargo shipment may be required to go through
additional screenings. You are allowed to bring in a small amount of food if you really need to, but definitely avoid shipping vegetables or fruits that have loose soil on them because they
could carry a disease.
Ship A Car To UK
You can ship a car to UK
duty free if you have owned the vehicle for at least six months and you are not
going to sell it for one year once it arrives. If you have not had the car for
at least six months, you will have to pay some taxes. It's important to
remember that the United Kingdom has left handed traffic, meaning cars drive on
the left and the steering wheels are also on the left. You can still
import an American car to the UK or a vehicle from another country that uses
right handed traffic since right handed vehicles are legal in the UK.
Remember to take into consideration extra maintenance costs for a non-standard
car in the UK. The Ministry of Transportation also sets standards for vehicles
imported to the UK. Cargo Experts can provide guidance on how you can find out
more about the modifications your vehicle may need.
Bringing Pets To The UK
Are you interested in bringing pets to the UK? In January 2012 the United Kingdom
changed some regulations to make it easier for people interested in bringing
pets to the UK. UK government websites provide more detailed information
about importing cats and dogs and other animals to the United Kingdom from an
approved country.
Shipping to the UK can be an easy process if you follow the country's import
rules. The immigration process can take awhile to complete, so getting the
correct forms in order before you ship is important.
