This is interesting feedback about the dramas of clearing your cargo in Alexandria

Hi Jeff,

Hope all is well with you. My shipping arrived on the 11th. They never phoned Mohamed until after I had tried to phone them and ask about it. Have had two trips so far to Alex - wading through incredible formalities and government buildings. I was almost totally ignored in negotiations.
All talk in Arabic to Mohamed who had to provide proof of his existence, a photo I. D. Customs apparently want to empty out every box - regulations. Understandable but they won't let me be there. Hope they don't swipe anything.

The agent we have is well in with the Customs (called Gumruk in Arabic) so with a bit of well-placed baksheesh, all MAY be well. I actually went to the Bond Store. Dozens of mighty trucks coming and going. I had to stay in the car. No women allowed. Men only work there. So I was given tasty food, a cup of tea and I had a short sleep and left Mohamed to do the talking. He actually was allowed to see the 2 pallets with my boxes on. They ARE THERE! In 2 or 3 days the Agent will phone Mohamed and THEN we take the big ute to Alex, 2 and half hours drive, but splendid straight road, and we bring everything home. There is no way I could have done this alone and I am so grateful Mohamed was with me, plus two more of his friends, one who knew the back alleys of Alex.

Pass this info on to anyone else sending gear to the Near or Middle East. They need a MAN who speaks both languages - and a lot of patience. But it CAN be done with perseverance.

Regards - Zella

Dec 2005
Australian Customs rejects industry representatives from Shipping, Transport, Customs Brokers, Importers to introduce the new Customs Integrated Reporting in non-peak importing season (end Jan 06) and plow on with their 12th October 05 implementation date.
What a disaster to importers, transport and shipping companies, the only one making bucket loads of money are the stevedoring companies P&O and Patricks through Storage.
Class action needs to be taken against Customs Department to cover staff overtime, loss of goodwill between importer and his/her customs broker, storage, transport detention (waiting time) container demurrage

Why we do not accept personal effects inside vehicles on our car ships

The car ships call into terminals that are very close to the CBD of major cities.
It's been decided that loading vehicles with personal effects is not a viable option, the perception is that the goods could actually be guns / explosives / dirty bomb.
Once a vehicle is taken on board a car ship you can walk around the various car decks  (you can't do this with container ships) and open up your vehicle and get your guns and take over the ship.
