Hi
I've imported some exercise equipment from China that will arrive in about 7-10 days and cost about £1900, it weighs about 5500kg in total and is 3.5cbm. I just received an invoice from Cargo Movers International Ltd (CMI) for as follows:-
LCL Terminal Handling: £352
UK Documentation £90
UK Handling Charge £82.50
CISF £175
Total = £699.50
That's not even including Duty and VAT plus delivery to my door. So I'm probably looking at least an extra £500-£700 on top. So I could be looking at paying £1200-£1400 on goods that I only paid £1900 for in the first place. I done as much research as could on the type of goods I ordered and never came across any hidden charges so I'm a bit confused as to why its so high. I think I'm going lose money as selling it all
I've imported Mini Moto's before and never paid any extra fee's like this, I'm pretty sure its excessive. What do you guys think ?. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
