Forwarding /customs clearance

[Sandro]

Dear! Sharing experience!
Some time ago, consulted with forumcanam how to get out of Japan Sculpture of 12 pcs. Moscow.
Using the Council will have further forward:
- 1 sculpture in one parcel (weight 17-18 kg)
- Assessment of each no more than 10 000 rubles. (so as not to pay a fee 30%)
- Mail EMS (the most inexpensive and reliable option)
- Sending of tsp for tsp
Thus I DB reach 12 parcels.
Agreed on everything with the Japanese (and underestimation, and marking "gift ")... BUT!!! To receive a parcel with the assessment below 10000 rub. et seq. not pay a fee, is, can only 1 time per week!
A Japanese executive was sent, of course, almost in one day.
I came for 3 days is 7 pieces, waiting for the rest tomorrow ...

So it got to a fee of 30%of the total cost minus 10 thousand rubles.
And that was when began to insist on the cultural values and called an expert - have a duty to pay the same and in this case. Ie when sending international mail fee paid always!

Total time customs clearance and receipt of goods - 5 hours (Warsaw route, Moscow)
