Behind every shipment is a UK team that picks up the phone, knows your trade lane and keeps things moving. We handle the complexity so you don’t have to.
Far East Shipping is a UK based freight forwarding company specialising exclusively in sea freight and air freight imports between the UK and the Far East.
We work with businesses of all sizes – from growing E-Commerce brands and established manufacturers to wholesale distributors and private importers – providing a complete, end to end import service that takes the complexity out of international shipping.
Our focus is narrow by design. Rather than offering a broad range of global freight services, we concentrate entirely on the UK – Far East trade lane. That specialism means deeper knowledge, stronger relationships with port agents and carriers across Asia and a team that genuinely understands the routes, regulations and seasonal pressures that affect your supply chain.
We handle the full journey of your goods from supplier to UK door – including export formalities at origin or air transit, UK import customs clearance and final delivery to your premises anywhere on mainland UK.
Our core services include:
Our trade lane expertise covers all major origins across the Far East and South Asia, with major focus on:
Each trade lane has its own nuances – from duty preference schemes and free trade agreement benefits, to port infrastructure, seasonal disruption patterns and documentation requirements.
Our team understands the details of each route and applies that knowledge to every shipment we handle.
We work with a wide range of UK clients, including:
Retailers and E-Commerce businesses importing consumer goods, homewares, electronics and fasion
Manufacturers and wholesalers sourcing components, raw materials and finished goods from Far East suppliers
Importers new to international shipping who need guidance from the very first enquiry through to delivery
Established importers looking for a more responsive, specialist alternative to a larger general freight forwarder
Private individuals bringing in personal consignments or specialist purchases from the Far East
Whether you are shipping a single “one off” LCL shipment or managing a regular flow of weekly FCL shipments, we give every client the same level of attention and the same commitment to clear, honest communication.
We keep things straightforward. When you contact us with a shipment enquiry, you will receive a clear, all inclusive quotation within one business day – covering freight, customs and delivery, with no hidden charges.
Once you confirm, we take care of everything. We coordinate with your supplier, booking the vessel or flight, managing the documentation, clearing your goods through UK customs and arranging delivery to your door.
You will always know where your shipment is and what is happening next. We do not believe in making clients chase for updates.
If you have a shipment to discuss – or simply want to understand your options before committing to anything – we are happy to help. There is no obligation and no pressure. Just straightforward advice from a team that knows the Far East trade lane well.
