Our Mission

SMLX FREIGHT

Delivering agile freight solutions for global markets.
We manage air, sea, and last-mile logistics from key sourcing regions worldwide Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond straight to the UK
From container to clearance to final delivery, we streamline every step of the import journey

Sea Freight

For businesses moving large-volume or containerised goods between China and the UK, EU, or global markets.

Sea freight is the preferred mode for importers shipping bulk or palletised cargo. Whether you’re replenishing retail distribution centres or restocking warehouses, our ocean freight solutions are designed for predictable costs and scalable growth.

Solving complexity at scale:

  • Long transit times can cause downstream delays

  • Port congestion and poor planning create warehousing issues

  • Hidden charges and variable schedules increase risk

What SMLX Freight Delivers:
We offer tailored FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) solutions from China, leveraging long-term carrier relationships and preferred sailing schedules.
You’ll benefit from:

  • Route optimisation to reduce dwell times

  • Predictive transit visibility via our integrated platform

  • Volume-based rates passed directly to you

  • Dynamic shipping plans to mitigate disruptions

Let us handle the variables—so your inventory arrives on time, on budget, and on schedule.

Air Freight

For time-sensitive cargo that demands reliability, speed, and full transparency.

Air freight is ideal for high-value, high-priority goods — such as electronics, samples, or products with narrow go-to-market windows. Whether shipping direct to Amazon FBA or to your UK facility, precision and control are paramount.

We offer streamlined China air freight solutions—Economical (7–14 days), Standard (3–5 days), and Urgent (as fast as 2 days).

Solving critical timing and transit visibility issues:

  • Missed inventory windows impacting product launches

  • Limited trackability with traditional consolidators

  • Inconsistent customs preparation delaying arrivals

What SMLX Freight Delivers:
We engineer fast, frictionless air freight solutions from China with:

  • Real-time tracking from pickup to POD

  • Airport-to-door coordination

  • Customs pre-clearance for minimal delays

  • Dedicated capacity options for urgent bookings

Our logistics team ensures you maintain control across every milestone—no guesswork, no gaps, no delays.

Customs & Last Mile Delivery

From factory floor to final destination, SMLX Freight delivers integrated customs and last-mile solutions. We manage all regulatory requirements and coordinate inland delivery with precision—ensuring goods move seamlessly from clearance to door.

What We Solve:

  • Delays due to incorrect or incomplete customs documentation

  • Overpaid duties or misclassified goods

  • Fragmented last-mile handoffs and tracking blind spots

What We Deliver:

  • Full UK customs clearance with HMRC compliance and proactive document prep

  • Accurate HS classification, duty calculations, and pre-filing

  • Coordinated UK-wide last-mile delivery to warehouses, 3PLs, or fulfilment centres
