Having since found out that our UK shipping agent Kingstown have nothing to do with the unloading of our container when it lands in the US, I thought I'd better try to find out what is needed to get Charlie Camel in to the US.
Basically, we need a company that acts on behalf of the US Customs people. In our case I sent a whole raft of emails off to shipping companies based in Baltimore. I found this really useful website which list a whole load of associated companies. Any company that is an associate member of something must be good, eh??
I evertually spoke to a lady by the name of Bridget Lowy at Dartrans. She gave me a load of useful info during a half hour conversation (Ouch... I ain't looking forward to my next phone bill!!) and after a quick email outlining our plans, she replied with all the relivant info and forms that need to be filled in... there are quite a few! As soon as I get a chance I will get the forms posted up on our website so you can have a read and see if they make any sence to you!! :LOL:
Now all I have to do is let Kingstown know about the "Notify Party" and find out what my US consign address is?!?!??? Hmmmm sure it'll all come together in the end!
