Buenos Aires Argentina to UK shipping... example price
Thought I'd cut and paste the final prices payable to my shipper, as an example for any more curious bike movers.. Mine was a 2004 klr650. I made a declaration to customs that it was worth an estimated 800GBP.
First of all though, be prepared for unscheduled changes to destination, if shipping with pluscargo! They told me Tilbury; it went via Hamburg to Felixstowe. They told me 12th Jan; it arrived on the 23rd. They told me they'd keep me informed.... Hmmm. One last thing -they told me clearly the per m3 price, and 'estimated' the total price. Let's just say they were a few pounds out.  Also, I ended up dealing with a completely different company in the UK, who were receiving the shipment (pluscargo didn't let me know that...)
Freight / Disbursements = GBP 573.45
Terminal Handling = GBP 112.80
Customs Presentation = GBP 17.50
Customs Clearance = GBP 37.50
Advancement Fee = GBP 28.89
Port Security Fee = GBP 3.50
Duty = GBP 64.93
Vat = GBP 153.40
Total payable = GBP 991.97

Good luck
