Hi Anthony,

Both Randy and I know Dave in particular, have a wealth of experience with
exporting and freight forwarding, so they should be able to assist you with any
concerns.

When the Three Rivers Foundation (3RF) shipped half a dozen Obsessions to
Sydney, they forwarded them by sea freight and a friend picked them up from
the Botany terminal.

The job of a customs broker or freight forwarder is to handle the bulk of the
paperwork for you. Dave or Randy will complete the rest at their end, including
packing lists.

However, be aware that when you pick the goods up, there is a long list of
additional local charges. In a way, you even pay for them to oil the padlock
on the gate of the port facility, by way of a security fee. A freight forwarder
can quote you in advance on these additional charges,
