With the trade and logistics rules changing after Brexit, sending goods or cargo from Turkey to the United Kingdom (London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, etc.) now requires more expertise. As Han Bros Cargo, we offer a unique service quality on the UK line with both our deep-rooted infrastructure in Turkey and our local office in London. By producing solutions fully compatible with British and Turkish legislation at every stage from customs processes to door delivery, we facilitate our customers' United Kingdom dreams.

Privileged Services We Offer on the UK Line

We are with you with our London-based operational power:

  • Post-Brexit Customs Consultancy: We prevent time losses and additional taxes by managing complex customs processes such as T1, T2 documents, and ATA Carnet with our professional team.
  • Weekly Regular Flights: We depart from Turkey to the UK regularly every week with our integrated road and sea transport models.
  • Personal Effects Transport (TOR1): We ensure that you benefit from customs duty exemption by guiding our citizens moving to the UK in Transfer of Residence (TOR) applications.

Why Han Bros Cargo with the UK?

Our biggest difference in UK logistics is having our own physical offices in both countries. This situation allows us to minimize the waiting times at customs gates (Dover, Folkestone, etc.) and solve local problems instantly. We provide cost advantage with our 'Partial (Groupage)' service for all kinds of your shipments from household goods to commercial palletized loads. Our professional team provides 24/7 support in English and Turkish languages, constantly informing you about where your items are and the customs status. With Han Bros Cargo, the UK is no longer just an overseas country, but as close as your neighbor logistically.
