The UK is a well-established buyer market for us, with a long-standing trade relationship between the two countries. This page answers the questions UK buyers most commonly ask before placing a first order.
Shipping time & freight options to the UK
Sea freight from Indian ports to major UK ports (Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway) typically takes 25–35 days transit, plus origin and destination handling time. Air freight is available for smaller or time-sensitive orders at a higher per-kilo cost, typically used for samples or urgent replenishment.
Duties, VAT & landed cost
Import duty rates into the UK vary by product HS code under the UK Global Tariff, and UK import VAT applies on top of duty and freight — we don't quote a fixed rate since this depends on classification and current policy; your UK customs broker or freight forwarder confirms the applicable rate and VAT treatment for your specific product.
Incoterms UK buyers commonly use
Most UK buyers we work with use FOB or CIF. See our Incoterms guide for a full explanation of each option and what it includes.

Why UK buyers choose Tiwari Groups International
Because Wickbond Private Limited is a registered Indian company with verifiable legal identity (CIN, GSTIN), UK buyers get contractual accountability and a documented quality-control process rather than relying on an unverified trading intermediary.
