Shipping from Sydney to Chile
Looking to ship from Sydney to Chile in January 2016.
Has anyone got current details about customs costs etc to claim the bike in Chile. I have heard various reports with wildly varying prices, including some sort of 10% deposit on the value of the bike. Any information would be greatly appreciated - I have it sussed at this end, but have no idea what happens when the bike arrives and how I get it. Thanks

How about airfreight...I am using German company to send my DR650 from Frankfurt to Cancun,Mexico next month, on the palette for 1590 Euros and cost on the other end is about 150E
Last year same bike I shipped sea freight from Tokyo,Japan to Rotterdam,Nederland and they rip me off with destination,unloading, charge of 500 Euro.
Air freight initial cost more but is faster and les expensive as you don't have additional cost of waiting around port.hotel,food......
Ride safe
