Reciprocal agency: we cover your UK and China legs, you cover ours

We are looking for forwarders and fulfilment operators in the EU who keep losing work at the UK border, and who would rather hand it to a partner than to a competitor.

What we would take on: UK import and export clearance as an AEO-certified broker, ETSF and CFSP bonded warehousing, pick-and-pack fulfilment, and parcel delivery through a ten-year DPD relationship. We also originate in China, so where a customer's goods start in Shenzhen we can control the movement from the point of booking.

What we would send back: EU-bound volume needing clearance, storage or distribution in the markets we do not cover ourselves.

We are not looking to compete for your domestic customs work. The trade is the leg each of us cannot serve on its own.

Most relevant to forwarders and 3PLs in the Benelux, Germany, France and Poland; fulfilment operators holding EU marketplace stock; and airlines or handlers at Liège whose customers keep asking them for a UK answer.
