Importing From USA

[Pedders]

does anyone know of anybody bringing stuff in from the USA by container ?
I have in mind importing a bulky item (150 Gallon Galvanised Water Trough) that is only available over there and looking for a cost effective way of importing it......TIA

Seem to remember @Speedstar brings a container over sometimes.

Could a fabrication firm make one similar (copy) and get it galvanized

Were in the States in it ?, we have a container coming later on this year

Getting a box from US port to UK port is the cheap bit. It’s the transport from wherever this thing is in the USA to the nearest container port that will cost you.

They go by rail, (unless close to a container port) the only road trans would be from the actual loading dock to the nearest rail terminal.

I say this as having done it for many yrs, you would be amazed how low cost this can be............the cost starts to rack up once it hits English shores.......imagine that..!

Its one of these and they seem to be mostly available in the midwest

@Speedstar can you pm me re container ?

Why do you need to go to the US for one ? I would assume there a manufactures in the UK and you can get them anywhere in France for example this company but there are others

Buy a container full & ship them will only be £2000 to £2500 from the Mid west to home door to door

Is there an import tax to pay when shipping in from the USA on agricultural goods?
