You can use less than container load with Tropical or Seaboard Marine. It takes one week to sail and one week to clear. The catch is that you have to spend half a day to clear it yourself, or you can pay extra which I am too cheap to do.

It is just bureaucratic. Bring these documents, wait here for your name to call, pay this amount, talk to that Customs officer, observe Customs going through the box, stamp, pay more money, get your vehicle approved to come in to pick it up, forklift brings it, drive off.Dave wrote:How crazy/difficult/painful is the self clearing you do?
