Does Liverpool offer bonded warehousing and short-term storage for consolidation services?
Yes, Liverpool has bonded and non-bonded warehousing options for consolidation, cross-docking and short-term storage, allowing you to defer duty payments or consolidate multiple suppliers into a single UK distribution shipment.
Can hazardous or dangerous goods be imported through Liverpool and what extra paperwork is needed?
Liverpool handles hazardous goods via approved terminals with ADR/IMDG compliance. We can help you supply correct DG paperwork, UN numbers, proper packing and classification details.
What typical transit times and routes are available for container shipments to and from Liverpool?
Liverpool connects to major short-sea and deep-sea services. Transit times vary by origin, north-west UK distribution often benefits from shorter road routings and reduced inland haulage costs compared with southern ports. However, actual lead times depend on service frequency and routing.
