cheers john, will just see how it all goes then .thanks

I should have some good answers by next week, I am dealing with James Cargo James Cargo Services IATA, AATA, IPATA and DEFRA approved Cargo Agent and they initially were as confused as me when I pointed out the EPA waiver clause on one of the docs (I was in their Manchester office and they usually deal with bikes from London). The London office confirmed there is a form to be filled in which they are going to fax a copy the Manchester office as a guide.

When I deliver the bike(s) for transportation they will sit down and help me fill all the forms in.

Looks a pretty good operation, we will fly the bikes out and send them back by sea to keep costs down.

Right, off to start a thread to see if anyone else has dealt with James Cargo :mchappy:

ta bruce everyone seems to come up with allsorts of things,we`ve been told if we fill this form before we go it saves time at the other end,let us kno how you get on,oh how much is your transport over there

The main thing that seems to make US customs happy from what I have read is if you have the invoice for when you bought the bike as well as the V5.

You can get a quote from James Cargo, but mine is coming out as 948ukp which includes all charges, and 1.5% insurance (based on bike being worth 2k). They also crate the bike for you.
