Freight forwarding and customs clearance for UK importers and exporters
Vithi Logistics is the trading name of Vithi Services Limited, a UK freight forwarder and customs broker based in Luton. We move goods into and out of the United Kingdom by sea, air and road, and we submit the customs declarations that travel with them.
You deal with the person running your shipment. Costs are itemised, declarations are checked before they reach HMRC, and if something is going wrong at a port you hear about it from us first.
The Three Ways We Move Goods
Sea
Full container loads and shared container space, with haulage from the port to your door.
Air
Consolidated and direct bookings for consignments that are urgent, high in value or small in volume.
Road
Full loads, part loads and groupage across the United Kingdom and into Europe.
Why Work With Us
-
You deal with the person running the job.
Whoever quotes your shipment books it, clears it and calls you when the port puts a hold on it.
-
Declarations are checked before submission.
Classification and valuation errors are corrected before HMRC sees them, rather than after a demand letter arrives.
-
Costs are itemised, not bundled.
Freight, port charges, entry fee and haulage appear as separate lines on the quotation and again on the invoice.
-
We say no when it is not our work.
If a consignment falls outside what we handle, we tell you at quotation stage and point you to someone who does handle it.

What We Handle
General cargo: household and general merchandise, textiles and garments, hardware and building materials, machinery and parts, packaged food and drink that is not subject to excise duty.
We do not handle excise goods, dangerous or hazardous goods, live animals, plants requiring phytosanitary control, controlled drugs, firearms or ammunition. If your consignment falls into one of those categories we will tell you at enquiry stage rather than after you have booked.
Tell us what you are moving.
Send the commercial invoice, the packing list and the collection address to info@vithilogistics.com, and we will come back with a costed option and a realistic transit time.
