Has anyone ever imported stuff through either of these channels?

While GST costs are relatively straightforward to work out, are there other airport / port costs to take into consideration?

Next week I was going to make some calls to find out, but thought a quick question here might save me some time...

thanks

Might be some demurrage costs. I 'm not sure if they are a % of the total value or fixed fees.
