Freight Consulting Services
So many companies do not employ an experienced Freight Consulting Services, for their volumes cannot justify such an expense, instead, the role is often given to someone as an additional function to their primary role.
The gap is often felt as though it has been plugged by a trusted freight forwarder, however it should be noted that while many freight forwarders have at least one niche, no single General Freight Services forwarder, whether it is a multinational or an independent is the best on every route. The positive and equally negative fact for freight forwarders is that they are only as good as their partner at the other end.

eCommerce
Many think that an eCommerce business is straightforward and because they are based outside the UK they must only conform to their “home rules”, not so. The Law in the UK is extremely strict on what is classed as overseas sellers. We can guide and assist you with everything to become compliant.
The implementation of FHDDS has made things very clear and simplified, yet still, there are some companies out there that are non-compliant and when caught the face hard consequences such as the closure of their business and imprisonment, their customers are also responsible for due diligence and will face consequences themselves for supporting such illegal activities.
