We’ve had complaints from clients regarding paying extra charges once the shipment has arrived at Destinations. Here is a guideline of what you may expect to pay at destination.
These fees are associated with services conducted at destination. Destination agents do work hard to ensure that your documents and cargo is ready to be cleared from Customs. They have to dismantle the container and separate your shipment from the rest, store it in a Bonded Warehouse until Customs Clearance is completed. We recommend that you develop a rapport with the destination agent. Be it an airline, a steamship line or even the local FedEx, DHL or UPS agent.
