Importing costs and things to do
Post 1 of 5
Hello!
I would like to ask a question concerning the material importing. If I order a containerful of stuff for ex. bottles with CIF price, where the stuff will end up in my destination port? Where do I get the notice the goods are here and where shall I find them? There will be discharging price from the port? And how comes the customs, I know they want the VAT and their fees. Do I have to "deal" the material takeoff from the container or will the port discharge them into the customs warehouse and customs notice I must get the stuff away from there?
Sorry for being totally numb about this but I have to admit since I am beginner I know nothing about the procedure and would like to have a little clearance until I order $50k valued stuff.
Thank you for your best answer!

The Shipping company or their representative will notify you once the goods have arrived at your Port.
I strongly suggest you contact a Customs Clearance Agent in your local Port who can handle all the formalities and paperwork for you.

Hello, EAINT.
Yes, you must pay for discharging cargo, for import fees, customs clearance, transportation to the final place of destination additionally yourself.
The vessel will come to the port, the logistics Company must inform you about it.
And you should hurry up, because you can pay for overstay (demurrage)...
and this "taxi" is very expensive...
You might ask the expeditor about help.
Where to know about customs clearance?
There several companies (customs brokers), including your country, they solve problems themselves for a fee. Search the web using keywords. Or call your domestic Customs, actually, this is must.
Buy they don't transport your goods, a domestic logistics Company should do it (additional fee also).
CIF is just cost, insuranse, freight. All other things is your direct responsibility.
But if you write CIF landed in a contract, then you will get the goods discharged from a vessel. This is more convinient for you.
My advice - hire a customs broker ones, pay him, s/he wil possibly explain you details "what and how".
Later you will do everything yourself much easier and without possible loss.
Best wishes!
