From London, United Kingdom to Veracruz, Mexico - April, 2003

Hi, I used Geodis shipping to send my bike to Veracruz in Mexico, from the start they were very helpfull Pauline Howard there rep gave me tips on how to crate my bike and how to save space and weight. I delivered my bike to there yard at west thurrock. I was given a time of shipping and an approximate date of arrival and the name and all the relevent details of the shipping agent in Mexico,this was
Rohde & Liesenfeld SA DE CV
Dakota 204/desp 101
Colonia Napoles 03810
Mexico DF, Mexico.
Tel 52 55 11070010
FAX 52 55 11070031
After 3 phone calls they were able to tell me who was the customs agent in Veracruz, they spoke good english and asked if I needed help to ship out just to give them a call.
The customs agent in Veracruz was
Agencia Aduanal
Gonzalo Salas Villagomez
AV. Juarez, No100 Despachos 204/205
CP 91700, Veracruz, Veracruz. Mexico.
This guy also spoke good english, after a few days of delays due to storms in the adlantic the ship arrived and one week later I got my bike. The shipping from Englad cost about GBP400 the customs cost a further $300 US. once in Mexico you must buy a temp import licence the customs agent will help with this as it has to be done at a state bank, not to shaw what happens comming over a land boarder but you must sigh the licence back when leaving Mexico as it is a guarantee against you selling your bike it cost's about $25 US. Customs in Veracruz should be best left to customs agents. They will save a lot of leg work and frustration but make sure you agree on all price's first. Hope this helps.
