For overseas exporters and suppliers

Your Trusted Logistics Partner in the UK

We manage the UK stage of your supply chain—from collecting cleared goods to final-mile delivery and nationwide distribution.

Exporting Goods to the United Kingdom?

S&B Transport & Logistics supports overseas exporters, suppliers and manufacturers that need a dependable UK partner to collect cleared goods from airports, ports, freight depots or warehouses and transport them to customers, wholesalers, retailers and distribution locations throughout the country.

Whether you are exporting products from Africa, Europe or elsewhere in the world, our team can coordinate with you, your freight forwarder and your customs representative to arrange dependable onward transport.

Our own fleet includes LWB Sprinter vans, Luton vans, 7.5-tonne trucks and 18-tonne rigid vehicles. Where an articulated vehicle, specialist vehicle or additional capacity is required, we coordinate the movement through carefully selected transport partners.

We have a particular focus on supporting exporters and businesses trading between the UK, Nigeria and Ghana, while welcoming enquiries from businesses anywhere in the world.

How it works

From Clearance to Final Delivery

  1. 01

    The goods are shipped

    The exporter ships the goods to the United Kingdom.

  2. 02

    Customs clearance is completed

    The appointed customs agent or freight forwarder completes the required clearance.

  3. 03

    Collection is coordinated

    Once the goods are released, S&B confirms the collection arrangements and allocates a suitable vehicle.

  4. 04

    The goods are collected

    We collect from the airport, port, freight depot or warehouse using a vehicle suited to the consignment.

  5. 05

    Final delivery or distribution

    We deliver directly to a single destination or coordinate onward distribution to multiple UK locations.

  6. 06

    Limited overnight holding

    Where delivery cannot take place on the same day, limited overnight holding may be available by prior agreement.

Customs clearance can be completed by your appointed customs agent, freight forwarder or an agreed specialist partner. S&B does not provide customs clearance directly; we coordinate with the appointed provider to ensure collection takes place promptly once the goods have been released.

Overnight holding is limited and available by prior agreement only. We do not currently provide long-term storage or warehousing.
