Unipac Shipping provides end-to-end Full Container Load (FCL) import services, customs clearance and container transport. Cargo unloading, pallet distribution, and warehousing is also available on request. We ensure a smooth and efficient journey from the moment your container arrives at a UK port to its final destination.
Import Customs Clearance for FCL Shipments
First of all, fast customs clearance is essential to avoid delays, storage charges and disruption to your supply chain. Our experienced team handles all aspects of FCL import customs clearance, including:
- Import declarations
- Duty and VAT processing
- Commodity code classification
- Customs documentation
- Compliance checks
- Cargo release coordination
By managing the entire customs process, we help ensure containers are cleared quickly and efficiently.
FCL Container Transport and Delivery
Once customs clearance is complete, Unipac Shipping arranges collection of your container from the port and delivery to your warehouse, distribution centre, manufacturing facility, or commercial premises.
Direct FCL container delivery offers several advantages:
- Reduced cargo handling
- Faster transit times
- Improved cargo security
- Lower risk of damage
- Greater supply chain efficiency
For businesses with suitable unloading facilities, direct delivery is often the most cost-effective solution.
Container Unloading and Pallet Distribution
However, if you do not have the equipment or space to unload a container, we can arrange transport to a secure unloading facility. Cargo can then be unloaded, palletised, and prepared for onward distribution.
Following unloading, goods can be:
- Delivered as pallets
- Distributed to multiple locations
- Stored temporarily
- Consolidated with existing inventory
This flexible service allows importers to benefit from FCL shipping without managing container unloading themselves.
Warehousing and Storage Solutions
Where immediate delivery is not required, Unipac Shipping offers secure warehousing and storage for imported cargo. Our facilities support short-term and long-term storage, pallet storage, inventory management, and distribution planning. This service gives businesses greater flexibility over stock management and fulfilment.
