In a semi-professional manner, I have used a company called IMOREX (Import Or
Export) geddit? Based out of Ipswich, England...near the ports of Felixstowe
and Harwich.The main man there was a fellow called Ian Jefferies.
They gave pretty good service, and can offer either Roll-on-Roll-off (RORO)
or Containerization, the cost last time I looked was about 1500 USD for RORO,
or
8500 USD for one large container, (23 feet long I think), therefore can old
at least two of our cars.
They know all the paperwork, and there is no import duty on 'returned British
goods', 'only' VAT at 17=% on the value of the car plus the cost of shipping.
figures may have all changed, so these are only guidelines.
Do not use a regular household shipping agent as they know nothing, or less
about shipping automobiles.
Best Regards
Leon
