WHEN it has to happen

Businesses Trust Omega for UK Imports

The United Kingdom is an essential trading partner for New Zealand, supplying high-quality automotive parts, pharmaceuticals, engineering equipment, and luxury goods.

However, importing from the UK involves navigating complex customs regulations, shipping logistics, and biosecurity requirements.

Omega Global Logistics handles every aspect—from supplier coordination in the UK through to customs clearance and delivery in New Zealand—ensuring a smooth, compliant, and cost-effective importing experience.

What is it and from where?

Selecting the Best Freight Option from the UK

Choosing the right freight method significantly impacts cost-efficiency and delivery schedules. Omega guides you clearly through your options:

Sea Freight (6–8 weeks)
Best for bulk and heavy shipments:
- Full Container Load (FCL): Ideal for large shipments requiring dedicated containers.
- Less than Container Load (LCL): Cost-effective for smaller shipments consolidated with others.
Main UK Ports: London Gateway, Southampton, Liverpool, Felixstowe.

Air Freight (7–14 days)
Optimal for high-value, urgent goods such as pharmaceuticals, luxury items, or critical stock replenishment.
Main Airports: London Heathrow (LHR), Manchester (MAN).

Courier Services (3–5 days)
Express shipping perfect for smaller shipments, prototypes, samples, or urgent documents.

If you're uncertain about the best freight method, Omega provides tailored recommendations to suit your business needs.
