As per the subject, I'm looking for a friendly customs clearing agent that I can talk to about the potential costs involved with importing a given type of product from the far east.

Does anyone already use an agent and have good/bad things to say about them?

Tell us how much/how many/approx. value and I'm pretty sure loads of people on here will be able to give you as good an idea as a clearing agent!

Ball park figures;

Based on $50'000 40HQ

approx. $5000 sea freight, including inland shipping, BIF, CIF, customs etc.
approx. £4500 VAT/duty/port security fees/vat deferment/scan etc.
approx. £300 - £600 UK shipping from a port to your warehouse (depending on distance).

NOTE - some prices quoted $$ and some ££!

Go to WWW.Import-Car.info/discuss/ & then "Shippers" & then "Import of US Sourced Cars into Europe". A Site, which in my opinion, will answer most of your questions.
