At Mercator we can offer a variety of options for refrigerated container transport (also known as reefers) for import into the UK and export from the UK.\u00a0 Some goods will need to be kept at a cooled constant temperature, for example frozen food stuffs, whilst other items (for example candles) may need to be protected from heat or cooler temperatures in a controlled temperature environment.\u00a0 Reefers allow the transportation of perishable goods at any time of year, safe in the knowledge your goods will not spoil.<\/p>\n
Available in either 20 foot or 40 foot containers, and even part loads – where we can combine your goods with other loads (provided that all the goods can be kept at the same temperature).\u00a0 Combining your load with other goods can keep your costings down.<\/p>\n
Examples of refrigerated container transported goods include:<\/p>\n
Mercator also offers comprehensive advice and services in all Port Health matters.\u00a0 If importing or exporting food stuffs, your goods will be subject to Port Health clearance.\u00a0 Our experienced team of freight forwarders can advise on all Port Health queries.<\/p>\n
When importing into the UK your goods will be subject to VAT and Duty charges through customs.\u00a0 We are able to calculate this rate and deal with HMRC clearance.\u00a0 Once your goods have arrived in the UK and your VAT & Duty charges have been settled, Mercator can make arrangements to deliver your shipment to door, either via road haulage or rail.<\/p>\n
