Guys, is it right to subject a container full of used household goods (custom officials in NBI ICD have already cleared it for collection, and contains custom free items) to the following charges;
Railway development levy, port health fee, port storage, container detention charges?
Mind you the firm was sub contracted, goods came from Germany.
Someone in the know please comb me
The firm handling the freight implicitly said they will cater for every charges incurred during the whole process and that i shouldn’t go into my pockets to be involved anywhere
What where the incoterms? DDP, DAP, FOB or CIF?
If you know this, you will get the answers your question.
Does it mean someone at the clearance office got greedy?
Yes that is required. Lipa tu and go pick your goods kama umepata agent hawezi, inbox tutakusaidia. Ndio kazi zetu hizi.
No. Those charges are in order but depends on the agreement or incoterm you had with person sending you the goods.
port storage begins after fourth day
container detention start after free period given by shipping line zimeisha
port health goods under certain hs code must be processed and released by port health,there is a fee paid for this
Its hard advising since niko na little information on clearing contract you had with your agent.Returning resisdent shipment exemptions approved dictate which type of taxes to pay, Port charges,shipping charges ,port health and transport is normal charges for every shipment
Ship me mikate ya elliots please
Lipa the charges advised by your agent ,exemptions code for returning resident exempts all taxes except railway development levy.sioni any irregularities with clearing elements advised to pay
