Date Added: 3 August 2023


If you are involved with Cross Trade Shipments, or would like to know how this practise could benefit you, we can help

As increasing numbers of UK companies take advantage of a more integrated global economy with supply chains that do not incorporate the UK, Davies Turner has responded with innovation, ensuring IT systems, services and staff training are in place to provide customers with insight and support, assisting with the management of cross trade supply chains that underpin this trend, helping customers achieve their business goals.


Cross Trade - what is it and how can it benefit you?

Cross trade shipments, also known as triangular operations or intermediation, occur when cargo is shipped from one country to another without passing through the country the shipper's business has been registered. This practise provides a number of benefits for shippers.

Lower supply chain costs
Utilising cross trade eliminates all UK transit costs, such as freight, duties and taxes.

Faster transit time
By avoiding the need to move through the UK, transit time is significantly reduced, saving costs.

Efficient supply chain
Product and stock is closer to the final destination.
