The mysteries of the Orient

At Future Forwarding we have a great deal of experience in the ways of the east. So not only can we reveal the mysteries of the Orient, but we can remove them completely – at least as far as the freight forwarding industry is concerned.

We help customers successfully import and export goods from Hong Kong and China on a daily basis.

Local knowledge

Our senior staff have visited this part of the world on numerous occasions, which has given us an excellent understanding of the working practices and enabled us to establish good communication throughout the region.

In China we have safe, secure, ‘western style’ consolidation facilities, and can therefore reduce your shipping costs by centralising the despatches when appropriate.

We also have agency representation in the following cities:

Hong Kong - Dalian - Guangzhou - Ningbo - Quingdao - Shanghai - Tianjin - Xiamen

Easing the way

Whether by sea, air or even a combination of the two, we can simplify the procedures and formalities, making importing and exporting from the Orient a trouble free experience for our clients.

If required, we can even arrange the issue of import licences on your behalf.

Beneficial trade agreements

Recent trade agreements have provided a number of benefits for European-based companies that trade in Mexico. At Future Forwarding we are fully conversant with these agreements and their implications, allowing us to take advantage of them on behalf of our customers.

Free to trade

The Bilateral Trade Agreement that came into effect on 1 July 2000 enables almost all products to travel both ways between the European Union and Mexico completely free of all customs duties.

Working with our Mexican partners, Transport Accion, at Future Forwarding we can help you take advantage of this unique agreement in the following ways:

• Free advisory service on HMS Customs Tariff for either UK or Mexico
• Comprehensive door-to-door services by sea and air, to and from Mexico
• Full load and groupage services available
• Customs brokerage
• Warehousing and distribution
• Purchase order procurement

What’s more it currently imports over £2 billion worth of goods and services from the UK.

Local knowledge

We have developed trading relationships with a trusted partner in India who has the necessary local knowledge to facilitate the transfer of goods to and from India and the UK.
