Import and Export: What is regulated?
When importing and exporting landscaping and construction materials, you may encounter hurdles which interrupt the transport process. To keep your business moving, you should be aware of the restrictions placed on the international transportation of goods in this area. Including:
Weight restrictions
Forestry
DEFRA Regulations
Import and Export Regulations and Requirements
When importing and exporting landscaping and construction materials, you may encounter hurdles which interrupt the transport process. To keep your business moving, you should be aware of the restrictions placed on the international transportation of goods in this area. Including:
Heavy Products e.g stones and aggregates:
The declaration of weight must be accurate so as not to impact the weight distribution of the vessel or for onward road haulage. Our hauliers and partners are fully briefed to handle higher weight containers and so can ensure the best level of customer service
Wood:
Wood also presents unique challenges. Such imports are regulated by the Forestry Commission who ensure goods are appropriately treated and meet UK standards. Fortunately, we can help your imports pass through such restrictions, handle Quarantine Release Certification (QRC) and ensure your goods pass seamlessly through such an inspection.
Live plants and plant produce:
The DEFRA may look to have an involvement in your imports to ensure they comply with UK regulations. The health of the environment can be compromised by invasive pests that could hide in organic or plant products transported overseas, like soil and wood.
DEFRA Regulations: Why must you comply?
The DEFRA Regulations can impose interruptions to your cargo flow, so it is important to ensure your products are compliant. If you need assistance with ensuring product compliance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
