Palletline Logistics, through its wholly owned subsidiary S&S Distribution Ltd, is marking two successful years of delivering international freight forwarding and customs brokerage services.
Operating from its base in Tonbridge, Kent, S&S handles all UK customs formalities and coordinates the international movement of freight across a global network spanning Asia, Europe, Africa, Australasia, and the Americas.
As members of BIFA and FIATA, S&S manages freight transport worldwide by sea, road, rail, and air, supporting customers with both imports and exports.
With over 50 years of heritage and as part of Palletline—the UK’s leading freight distribution network—S&S has experienced significant growth amid increasingly complex geopolitical challenges.
Paul Black, Head of International Freight, commented: “Navigating the complexities of international shipping, import duties, customs regulations, and inventory management may seem overwhelming, but a logistics partner with the right expertise, experience, knowledge and partnerships that cover the breadth of the globe can help UK businesses take advantage of the opportunities offered by international trade.
“With import and export services to and from China, India, the Americas, Australia, Japan, the EU, and more, our international operation has grown consistently in a short time providing a full end-to-end suite of customs clearance, customs warehousing and international freight forwarding import/export services in addition to the container de-stuffing, palletisation and UK-wide pallet distribution services that S&S has been offering for many years.”
He added: “Through establishing the international freight forwarding and customs operation, all Palletline members are able to offer freight forwarding capabilities. S&S customers, our fellow Palletline Logistics businesses and the 78-strong Palletline membership are increasingly taking advantage of this One-Stop-Shop capability.”
This milestone highlights Palletline and S&S’s ongoing commitment to simplifying global trade for UK businesses through integrated, expert logistics solutions.
