Freight forwarder, Mercator was recently tasked with one pallet for shipping from Taiwan to the UK. The goods, engineering parts, were purchased by the UK importer on an FOB (free on board) basis, so our team arranged the sea freight from Taiwan in conjunction with our agent based in Taipei, UK landing charges, import customs clearance and delivery to the importer’s door in the UK.
There are regular LCL (less than container load) services and FCL (full container load) services when it comes to shipping from Taiwan. This particular shipment was routed from Kaohsiung to Southampton, with a port to port transit time of approximately 40 days.
Mercator’s team is also able to handle air freight when it comes to shipping from Taiwan, and can even offer a full door-to-door shipping service (for example if purchasing on EXW terms). The link with our partner agent in Taiwan (thanks to our founding membership of the freight forwarder network MarcoPoloLine), means that our team is able to call on local knowledge and assistance in Taiwan.
Whether you have a single pallet which is needed in the UK quickly, or you have a full shipping container of goods, get in touch with our team who will be able to provide a quote for shipping from Taiwan. You can contact the team by calling (+44) 02392 756 575, emailing sales@mercatorcargo.co.uk or completing the form below and we will be in touch.
