Seamless Logistics: From Factory Floor to Your Data Center Door
At MJS Energy Solutions, we understand that sourcing high-quality solar products is only half the battle. Getting those critical components from the manufacturer in China to your data center site in the UK or Europe securely, on time, and on budget is just as important. That’s why we offer a complete, end-to-end freight and logistics solution designed to handle every step of the journey, giving you total peace of mind.
Our expert logistics team manages the entire process, providing a single point of contact and full transparency from factory to final delivery.
Our Door-to-Door Freight Process
1. Factory Coordination & Export
Our process begins right at the source. We coordinate directly with the Chinese manufacturer to ensure your order is correctly packaged for international transit. Our on-the-ground team oversees:
Factory Collection: Picking up your goods directly from the manufacturing facility.
Export Documentation: Preparing and managing all necessary Chinese export licenses and customs paperwork.
Secure Loading: Ensuring your solar panels, inverters, and mounting systems are loaded correctly into containers to prevent damage.
2. International Freight Management
We select the optimal freight method based on your project’s timeline and budget. We leverage our strong relationships with leading global carriers to secure competitive rates and reliable transit times.
Sea Freight: The most cost-effective solution for large-volume shipments. We manage all bookings for Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments to major UK and European ports.
Air Freight: When speed is critical, we arrange for air freight to get your components on-site quickly to meet tight project deadlines.
3. UK & EU Customs Clearance
Navigating customs in the UK and Europe can be complex. Our in-house experts and local partners specialize in the import regulations for solar technology, ensuring a smooth clearance process. We handle:
Import Declarations: Accurately classifying your products to comply with all regulations.
Duty & VAT Management: Calculating and processing all applicable import duties and VAT payments on your behalf.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring your shipment meets all UK and EU standards for renewable energy products.
4. Final Mile Delivery to Your Site
The final stage is just as crucial. We manage the last leg of the journey right to your data center’s doorstep.
Inland Transportation: Arranging for road haulage from the port or airport to your specific site location.
Scheduled Delivery: Coordinating with your on-site project managers to schedule a precise delivery time, minimizing disruption.
Unloading Assistance: Organizing specialized unloading equipment, like cranes or forklifts, if required for safe and efficient delivery.
With MJS Energy Solutions, you can focus on your core project while we handle the intricate logistics of international procurement.
There are 3 main methods our customers usually transport their goods.
FOB
We take care and are responsible until your goods are on the ship or plane bound for your destination country. This is for businesses who want to use their own freight forwarder.
DAT
We take care of everything and you come and pick it up at the port or airport. This is usually if you have your own vans, trucks etc.
DDP
This is the most popular option for many of our customers. The products are delivered to your final destination in your destination country. You have minimal paperwork and you are still able to pay only when it is needed, so the costs are not all expected during the manufacturing process.
