Air, sea and road freight between Turkey and the UK. Post-Brexit expertise, competitive rates, 1-hour quotes. FCL, LCL, express air cargo.
Express and standard air cargo from Istanbul (IST/SAW) to London Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW) or Manchester (MAN). Ideal for high-value, urgent or perishable goods. Multiple daily flights ensure reliable capacity on the Turkey–UK corridor throughout the year.
FCL and LCL ocean freight from Istanbul or Mersin to Felixstowe — the UK's largest container port — or Southampton. Cost-effective for large volumes, machinery, furniture and bulk goods. Post-Brexit UK customs procedures are fully managed by our licensed agents.
Direct truck transport from Turkey to the UK via Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Belgium and the Channel Tunnel or ferry crossing. A well-established overland route with regular groupage and full truckload options. Door-to-door delivery across England, Scotland and Wales.
Since Brexit, goods entering the UK from Turkey require full UK customs clearance — separate from EU procedures. This means import declarations, UK import duty assessment and UK VAT. The Turkey–UK Trade Agreement provides some preferential tariff rates. We handle all post-Brexit documentation and customs clearance on your behalf.
Felixstowe is the UK's largest container port, handling the majority of deep-sea container traffic. Southampton is the second major option, particularly for groupage. Both ports offer efficient UK customs facilities and strong onward distribution networks via road and rail to all UK regions.
Road freight from Turkey to the UK typically takes 5–7 days. Trucks travel through Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Austria and Germany before crossing to the UK via the Channel Tunnel (Eurotunnel) or ferry from Calais, Dunkirk or Hook of Holland. Customs processing at the UK border adds a small amount of additional time.
Required documents include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin, and a UK import declaration. A preferential origin declaration may be used to claim reduced duty under the Turkey–UK Trade Agreement. Product-specific certificates (CE marking, food safety) may also be required depending on cargo type.
Yes. We work with HMRC-registered customs agents in the UK to manage import clearance, duty payment and VAT. Our team is experienced in post-Brexit UK customs requirements and ensures smooth entry at Felixstowe, Southampton or any other UK port of entry.
