Move Your China-UK Shipments via Tashkent Using CargoPoint’s Deferred Airfreight Product.
UK importers sourcing from China are absorbing risk on three fronts simultaneously. Red Sea disruption has pushed ocean carriers onto Cape of Good Hope routings, adding two weeks of transit time and unpredictable fuel and war-risk surcharges to sea freight bookings. Meanwhile, direct air freight capacity on China-Europe and China-UK lanes is tight, leaving shippers with confirmed cargo bumped for lack of belly-hold or freighter space. The result for procurement and inventory planning teams is the real cost: unpredictable lead times force a choice between overstocking to buffer against delay, tying up working capital, or running lean and risking stockouts when a shipment doesn't land on schedule. For businesses evaluating a freight forwarder for China to UK shipping, that unpredictability - not the headline transit time - is usually the real cost of relying on a single transport mode.
CargoPoint's Truck+Air corridor via Tashkent (TAS) to the United Kingdom is built to remove that trade-off. Cargo moves by road from inland Chinese origins to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, then by air onward to the UK - a multimodal routing that sits between ocean freight and direct air on both cost and transit time, with consistent capacity and predictable transit times that don't depend on Suez Canal conditions or peak-season air allocation. It's the corridor CargoPoint developed with Turkish Cargo in 2023, since covered by the South China Morning Post and STAT Times, and validated further by global forwarders including DHL Global Forwarding and CEVA Logistics, who leveraged CargoPoint’s Truck+Air product to launch their China-Europe deferred air freight services via Tashkent gateway.

Truck+Air from China to the UK via Tashkent.
Due to ongoing congestion and limited cargo space on direct air routes, many UK-bound shippers now rely on alternative transit solutions for freight from China. CargoPoint offers a strategic routing option via Tashkent (TAS), Uzbekistan, which serves as a reliable and efficient transit hub between Asia and Europe. By moving cargo by road to Tashkent and then by air onward, we help our customers avoid delays commonly associated with overloaded direct flights and congested ocean ports, especially during peak seasons.
From Tashkent, shipments are forwarded to Istanbul, Turkey with Turkish Cargo before onward delivery to the UK. This route is especially effective for time-sensitive shipments like electronics, textiles, automotive parts, and pharmaceutical products. Leveraging regional expertise and strong airline and trucking partnerships, CargoPoint provides consistent capacity and competitive transit times, including customs clearance, for cargo shipping from China to the UK.
