Freight Forwarders

Freight Forwarders can advise on the best method of transportation and will see that all of the correct documentation is issued. This will avoid any delay in importing goods, for delays may mean that storage charges are incurred. If notified in advance, the agent can arrange insurance and will pay any duty and VAT due on the imported goods at the port of entry, on the understanding that Departments will reimburse them within 10 days. The University's recommended clearing agents can be found by following the link below:
