Import duties rapped me!

[craigrobbo]

Hey guys,

I do have the issue of finding a forwarder still, the charges are some what bu the bi now - There isn't much i can do about it only a small portion of the total cost is VAT/duties.

Does anyone know how i would go about finding and dealing with this getting changed over to another forwarder?

My suggestion would be to hire a truck with licensed lifting equipment and go get it yourself. Don't forget to book a dock side collection slot and don't be late or they will charge you storage time (this could mean 10mins only and still cost you a fortune). This would still work out cheaper than letting them arrange it. I had to do this with a car a long time ago admittedly but saved me £400 which was a huge amount of money then.

Moral of the story: always get your own shipping agent to collect goods

Changing shipping agents might be easy however you could get stung as you are 3rd party to contract, see above.

Best person to advise and investigate FOC would be a local shipping agent who will be happy to help.
