I had a 20 ft sole use container and it cost all in about $1,000. That was for the customs clearance and a bit of checking they had to do. It could be less but it depends on how much you are shipping,t he quality of the descriptions from the packers etc. I would say allow a $1k and if it is less then fine, but I think you;'ll find everyone has different experiences.

Hi Tess.

All we had to pay was $147 dollars at this end for custom clearance and quarantine fees. Nothing was opened or checked so I suppose it could have been more.
