Export Services
At A-Z Cargo, our Export Services are designed to streamline every step of your outbound supply chain, ensuring your goods depart the UK efficiently, compliantly, and on time. We begin with a comprehensive export readiness assessment, in which our specialists review your product classifications, dual-use licensing requirements, and packaging specifications. From there, we craft a bespoke logistics plan covering:
1. Documentation & Compliance
Preparation of export declarations, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and any specialized certificates (e.g., phytosanitary, Dangerous Goods). We liaise directly with HMRC and other regulatory bodies to secure electronic export authorizations and ensure full alignment with Free Trade Agreements, minimizing duties for your buyers.
2. Export Packing & Handling
For each commodity—whether heavy mechanical power generators or delicate scientific instruments—we specify the optimal packing method (crates, pallets, bulk containers) and oversee quality-controlled loading at your premises or factory. Our heavy-lift teams and vibration-damping solutions safeguard high-value cargo in transit.
3. Carrier Selection & Booking
Leveraging our global carrier network, we negotiate competitive ocean-freight space, air-freight slots, or multimodal transport options. You benefit from consolidated groupage shipments or dedicated full-container loads (FCL), depending on urgency and volume.
4. Cargo Insurance & Risk Management
We arrange tailored insurance cover—ranging from All Risks to Named Perils—backed by leading underwriters. Real-time tracking and proactive alerts enable you to monitor milestones such as departure, transshipment, and estimated arrival.
5. Post-Departure Support
Even after your goods sail, our Export Team remains on standby to resolve any queries, manage rerouting requests, and provide final proof of export documents necessary for your export credit or VAT reclaims.
