Default UK Import Agency

Hello
We are thinking of starting a small business importing thai goods (jewellery, thai silk, small household items etc) and selling in the UK (online and at events etc).

We know of quite a few export agencies over in Thailand that can help arrange shipping, paperwork and sourcing goods if we need but just wonder do we need an import agency in the UK to meet the goods, arrange the paperwork etc?

If so can anyone recommend a UK import agency?

We are only starting small so it would not be millions worth of goods we are importing! Say £5k to start

Many thanks
Joanne

Hello Logan

Is FMCG the company? I did a search on Google but could not find them?
Are you using them for importing?

Thanks
Joanne

Hi Logan

Thanks for that.

Are you actually using them for importing yourself? or have used them in the past? I was hoping for a recommendation from someone who has used a company.

Hi Joanne

I used for a couple of times... They always clear the goods in 1 day.

Can not say they have the best customer service but the do their job well...
