Customs Information
Before undertaking any shipment it is important you look into the requirements for the destination country. Each country has its own set of rules, regulations and restrictions so you need to make sure you are fully aware of implications of shipping your consignment.
Every shipment, no matter the country has to be cleared through customs in some way, even in EC countries there may be some sort of customs clearance still in place, so it important you are aware that there will be paperwork needed to be filled out and possible charges to pay to an agent locally once your consignment arrives. If you haven’t been quoted through to your door then this will certainly be the case.
