Sea Freight

Sea freight remains one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to move goods across long distances, making it an essential part of global trade. Whether you’re shipping full container loads, part container loads, or exploring alternative rail freight options from China, sea freight offers the capacity, flexibility, and reach to connect your products to markets worldwide.

We deliver sea freight solutions that combine competitive pricing with operational precision. From established global trade routes to emerging economies, our services are designed to keep your supply chain moving smoothly. And if circumstances change, we ensure a seamless transition while safeguarding your financial interests, including opportunities to optimise HMRC import tax calculations for potential cost savings.

EXPERT COMPLIANCE

International sea freight is about ensuring every stage complies with complex regulations, both in the UK and abroad. At Rioz, we combine operational expertise with a detailed understanding of customs procedures to keep your shipments on schedule and in full compliance.

Our team manages:

1. Documentation requirements for sea freight, including bills of lading, commercial invoices, and packing lists.
2. Tariff classification to ensure goods are correctly declared, helping avoid costly errors or delays at customs.
3. Compliance checks with HMRC and relevant international trade laws so shipments meet all necessary regulatory standards before departure.
4. Proactive problem-solving, identifying potential compliance issues early and addressing them before they can cause disruption.

When a shipment changes mode, for example, switching from sea to air due to unforeseen production delays, we manage the process to protect your financial interests. This includes ensuring you can still use the original sea freight cost for HMRC import tax calculations, which can potentially deliver significant savings.

With experience handling diverse cargo types and destinations, we make sure your goods are shipped in line with the exact compliance requirements of your industry and target market, giving you confidence and control over every shipment.
