I am looking to establish a company in London (U.K.) to import goods from India and sell the same in the local market.

Can anyone guide me about the procedure and authorities that I have to dealt with.

Replying to [Smir]:what do you sell mainly .i hope that you could look for good cooperatcooperative customer .

Replying to [Smir]: hello my friend just go through the proper procedures with the customs and excise , v.a.t. etc , using a customs clearing agent may be beneficial they can deliver the goods to your storage facility, also they can complete the paperwork for customs and excise for you as this can be quite difficult, finally when you have recieved your goods its up to you how and where you want to sell them but remember you may need permission from the manager of the local market you plan to use as he does'nt want too many people selling the same type of goods ,
good luck,
Hilton

Replying to [Smir]:the website for customs and excise is www.hmrc.gov.uk , on this website you can find all the info for bringing goods in to U.K. , you can check with the local council about selling on the market as they control everything.
good luck , hilton
