Return to article: How to Move by Shipping Your Possessions
on 11/22/2005 Even though we paid ahead of time for "all moving expenses except for local port duties and taxes at the destination," we found that quite a number of odd charges can be considered "local port duties and taxes" (in Britain at least). We found that we could not get access to our possessions unless we paid these charges. It seemed like extortion at the time, because no one had said how much they would be (several hundred dollars). There was nothing we could do but pay whatever they asked. Luckily, my employer (eventually) reimbursed us, but it still seemed outrageous.
