Case Studies

A: ATA Carnet

Case Study: Comprehensive ATA Carnet Shipment Handling for the 2024 London Vet Show

Freight Connect Services demonstrated its exceptional logistics capabilities by managing an ATA Carnet shipment from Guangzhou, China, to the 2024 London Vet Show at ExCeL London. The client arranged the flight to London Heathrow Airport, and we ensured a seamless process from start to finish.

Upon arrival at Heathrow, our team promptly collected the shipment and completed customs clearance on the same day, presenting the ATA Carnet to the Customs desk for approval into the UK. The goods were delivered on schedule, ready for the exhibition

After the event concluded, we provided outstanding post-exhibition support. While the client rushed to their next destination, our dedicated driver patiently waited in a long queue to gain access to the exhibition hall. Once inside, the driver located the goods and safely retrieved them, showcasing our commitment to added-value services.

Additionally, our professional sales team ensured uninterrupted client support by staying accessible even after working hours. This dedication guaranteed that client requirements were met at any time, and the goods were safely collected and delivered. At Freight Connect Services, client satisfaction remains our top priority, and this case exemplifies our unwavering commitment to delivering superior service.

This case underscores our ability to go above and beyond in managing time-sensitive ATA Carnet shipments, providing peace of mind to our clients by handling every detail with care and professionalism.

B: Anti-dumping

Anti-Dumping Customs Clearance

Navigating anti-dumping duties on goods from China can be complex, but at Freight Connect Services, our expertise ensures smooth and cost-effective solutions for our clients. The UK imposes a 36.10% anti-dumping duty on ceramic goods originating from China, in addition to the standard 12% duty rate. This can significantly increase the cost of importing these goods.

Our team specialises in clearing goods subject to anti-dumping duties. We guide our clients through every step of the process, helping them prepare the necessary paperwork and documentation to apply for duty reductions. Recently, we successfully assisted a client importing ceramics from China in securing a 55% reduction on their anti-dumping duty, saving them £300 on a single shipment.

This case highlights our commitment to delivering tailored solutions, ensuring compliance with UK regulations, and providing tangible savings. At Freight Connect Services, we strive to help our clients optimise their import processes and minimise costs while maintaining full compliance.
