UK Importing & Exporting made easier with Jeavons
When a country imports goods it is effectively redistributing funds from that country to the country that is exporting them. Conversely, when a country exports its own goods, it is receiving a portion of the wealth of the country it is exporting to. If at any point a country is importing more than it is exporting, that country is said to have a trade deficit (i.e; a negative trade balance). Though a trade surplus is preferable, a trade deficit is not in itself a problem as it can indicate a strong economy.
The UK recorded a trade balance deficit of $25.6 billion in Nov 2020, compared to a deficit of $26.8 billion in Oct 2020. Total exports in the UK decreased by 1.9% every year, to the most recent figure of $38.6 billion (Nov 2020). Total imports increased by 10.4% every year, to $64.2 billion in Nov 2020.
The global pandemic of 2020 obviously had a major effect on trading around the globe, and the UK did not escape this impact.
Transport options for UK Imports & Exports
There are four main modes of transport to choose between when Importing or Exporting goods :
- Rail
- Road
- Air
- Sea
To determine which mode of transport is the best choice for your business needs and your budget, you should consider:
- How time-sensitive your delivery is
- Your level of customer service
- How important logistics are
- If you require inventory tracking
Let’s look closer at the different modes of transport.
Rail transport
This is the most cost-effective and efficient way to move your goods. You can transport large quantities of goods from medium to long distances provided the point of origin and the destination has good connectivity by rail. It is also considered to be a more environmentally friendly option than the alternatives and is highly reliable. The only drawbacks are that journeys can take a long time, and remote locations may not have a rail link. Schedules are also inflexible.
Air transport
The quickest and safest way to move goods anywhere in the world is via air. A variety of goods can be transported by air, but taxes will be incurred. One major drawback of air transportation is the price, and you’ll also still need to rely on other transportation to move your goods from the airport to the final destination.
Road transport
This is a highly flexible mode of transport where goods can be delivered door to door. It is also easier to track your consignments, following it till it reaches its destination. The drawback is with the length of time it can take, especially for long-distance deliveries. The risk of goods being damaged is also higher than other forms of transport, but on the plus side, it’s very easy to schedule road deliveries.
Sea transport
One of the oldest methods of transport for international shipping is by sea. Transportation of goods by sea is characterised by lower costs and increased capacity. Time is obviously the downside, with an element of unpredictability from weather, customs, docking, etc. Extra costs may also be incurred from loading, unloading and moving goods from the port to their destination.

Frequently Asked Questions
One provider handles the whole chain: collecting goods, freighting them, clearing customs, storing them, and distributing them across the United Kingdom, so the process stays with a single company from start to finish.
Air freight is fastest but costs more, and goods still need onward transport to and from the airport. Sea freight tends to be cheaper and can carry much larger volumes, though it takes longer. Road freight offers door-to-door delivery and is straightforward to track, though long distances can extend delivery times.
Each customer is assigned a dedicated account manager, so there is one point of contact across collection, freight, customs, warehousing, and distribution.
Handling every stage under one roof avoids the handovers and gaps that come from splitting the job between several freight companies.
For enquiries related to imports and exports, contacting the Jeavons Eurotir team directly is the quickest route. The team can be reached on +44 (0)121 765 4166 — for potential business or quotes, dialling option 4, or emailing sales@jeavonseurotir.co.uk, will reach the sales team.
