Send a Pallet To USA

Send a Pallet to the USA with ParcelBroker

Did you know that the United States is the UK’s largest single export destination for goods? According to GOV.UK, the US accounted for 22.5% of total UK exports. With a nominal GDP of roughly $30 trillion in 2025, it’s also the world’s largest economy.

Around 680,000 Britons now call America home, and e-commerce sales reached $300.2 billion in the first quarter of 2025 (which is fuelling parcel delivery to the USA from the UK).

Palletised freight typically reaches the U.S. in 10–30 days via sea freight (depending on whether you’re shipping to the East, West or Gulf coast), 5–10 days by air, or 1–3 days by express courier. Demand for quick, cost-effective pallet shipping to the USA has never been stronger. So, whether you’re scaling your e‑commerce business or relocating household effects, ParcelBroker is here to streamline every step.

How to prepare the pallet for shipping to the USA?

To prepare your pallet delivery to the USA, goods must remain completely within the pallet base because any overhang isn’t covered for damage.

Secure the load tightly with shrink wrap, ratchet straps, rope or banding so it stays stable even though the pallet may be reloaded up to eight times in transit. Keep the centre of gravity low and avoid packing a top‑heavy pallet to reduce the risk of tipping during handling.

When you send a pallet to the USA, it’s important to protect items further by wrapping them in bubble wrap, cardboard, polystyrene or other cushioning materials.

As pallets are often stacked to maximise vehicle space, clearly mark the outside if your goods must not be stacked.

Engine parts and gearboxes must travel on a dedicated service; please call 0871 288 5741 for a bespoke quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to deal with customs when shipping a pallet from the UK to the USA?

Essentially, your courier or freight forwarder can lodge any electronic declarations for you, but you still have to supply them with the relevant paperwork, commodity codes and values that CBP (and UK Customs) need for clearance. You also remain liable for any errors, duties or penalties.
