Export Wholesale UK: FMCG Export Services from a Lancashire Warehouse

Wholesale export UK buyers can trust is mostly about the unglamorous things: stock that arrives as manifested, paperwork that clears customs first time, and a supplier who answers the phone in your working week. Northern Marketing has exported UK FMCG — branded household goods, toiletries and our ten own brands — to buyers in 40+ countries from our 40,000 sq ft warehouse in Nelson, Lancashire. We pack mixed-category container loads with full export documentation support, and we have been doing it since 2009.

Markets we serve

Our export accounts cover buyers across the Middle East, East and West Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and South and Southeast Asia. The pattern is consistent everywhere: importers and distributors want recognised UK brands and high-margin own-brand lines, packed to survive the journey and documented to clear the border. Market-specific sourcing advice lives in our guides for Nigerian and Ghanaian retailers and Middle East and Gulf buyers.

Mixed-category container and pallet loading

Most of our export orders are mixed loads: household, toiletries, air care and impulse lines consolidated into one container rather than a single-category block. That is deliberate — a mixed load spreads risk and matches how our importers actually sell. We load 20ft and 40ft containers and export-ready pallets from our own warehouse, and our planning guide on filling a shipping container with UK FMCG walks through cube utilisation, weight distribution and category mix line by line.

Export-ready repacking

Export freight punishes retail packaging. Our in-house team repacks stock export-ready — consolidated, protected and labelled for the destination, including multi-language labelling where required. Repacking is one of our core services rather than a bolt-on; the full capability, including custom labelling and private label, is on our repackaging and labelling services page.

Documentation support

We provide full export documentation support with every order. If you are new to UK-origin paperwork, our plain-English guide to EUR1 forms and export paperwork explains what each document does and who needs it. For everything else — from first sourcing list to loaded container — start with the FMCG export guide.
