Import Agent's Charges in Buenos Aires?
I was given a quote to air freight the bike to Buenos Airies and then when I asked what paperwork etc I would need to collect the bike from the airport I got another quote from one of the freight company's agents in BA as follows:
Customs Clearance £140
Customs Fee £110
Terminal Fee £52
Documentation Fee £35
Bank Guarantee £100
Trucking £40
Airport Warehouse £80
TOTAL £557.00
They also said they would need:
1. Copy of passport
2. Details of goods with model and other info
3. Copy of airline ticket
Can anybody tell me if you need an agent at the other end or is this a service I am paying a premium for i.e. would I have to pay all this if I just walked into the cargo warehouse with the airway bill and a carnet?
Thanks in advance.
