Shipping to the UK
Shipping to the United Kingdom? With strong cultural ties between South Africa and Britain, it’s common for many to have dual citizenship, living between the two countries and enjoying the best of both worlds.
Freight Factory has a well-established shipping route to the UK, handling the relocation of cars, bikes, boats, quads, and more for personal or commercial moves. Our primary port of entry is London-Gateway, where we offer shared containers (LCL) from Cape Town, but we also service other key ports like Felixstowe, Southampton, Liverpool, Belfast, and Dublin. Speak with our team to choose the best port and shipping option based on your cargo.
At Freight Factory, we understand that documentation is the key to a successful move. It’s not just about export paperwork—we ensure that the import documentation at your destination is handled properly too, offering you a true door-to-door shipping service into Europe. Our experienced team manages the entire export process in-house, from local relocations to assisting with Exporter Code applications, police clearances, Datadot (in-house), and ITAC Export Permits.
With SA Customs constantly updating and enforcing regulations, it’s crucial to stay informed. Exporting vehicles involves more than just shipping—it’s a complex administrative process that we’ve mastered.

Testimonials
Nicole, thank you and your amazing team for a smooth experience in taking control of my export vehicle. Your attention to the detail and diligence in rendering the service is highly appreciated. You made the whole experience so easy and comfortable for me. Up until dealing with you and your team, all previous encounters with other companies claiming to know the process has been shocking. Now I am at the right place. Freight Factory is my new best friend! - Jayson Ramsammy

I have used “Freight Factory” and in particular Lorraine to successfully take charge of the shipping & importation of my delicate C-Type Jaguar project. This consisted of arranging and advising of the paperwork required as well as following up with local authorities and the handling of the UK transport to the port, containerisation, shipping, clearing and unloading in CT. I highly recommend the services of “Freight Factory” for any similar requirements.
DARRYL SIMPSON
The Freight Factory are efficient, on the ball and proactive. They are clearly very experienced shippers, and are able to utilise a range of good contacts in a wide range of ports. I was reassured by all aspects of the service they provided throughout a recent booking, and was impressed by their new facilities in Cape Town. My consignment arrived according to schedule and in exactly the condition I expected it to, with minimal fuss.

Freight Factory assisted me in sorting out the VIN number on my trailer for Police Clearance. The service was of a high quality and coupled with the friendly manner of the staff, I would definitely recommend them!
