South East Asian Trips

Myanmar shipping and forwarding between Myanmar and Europe, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Genoa, Sweden, Scandinavia, USA, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Korea, Japan, South America, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Germany, France, Italy, England and other shipping destinations, plus shipping - transport - forwarding inside the country can be a delicate matter.

You will run into serious problems if you select the wrong Myanmar shipping agent for Myanmar shipping or forwarding. Before you do the container or other shipping forwarding ask some companies to make you a quote for the shipping project, for more detailed check here.

In general use a bigger international shipping forwarding company who has a office in Myanmar, usually Yangon. They might be a little bit more expensive with their shipping forwarding rate than Myanmar smaller shipping forwarding companies but you get a real door to door service. Insist that when the Myanmar shipping forwarding company do a shipping rate calculation they includes all charges except taxes naturally and have this in written form.

The reason is on this planet there are a lot of crooks who just wait to pull money from you. A typical example are exotic destinations for international container shipping forwarding freight move like lets say to Nigeria, Indonesia, Thailand and many other destinations. In this countries many of the freight - customs agents work together with the local authorities to extort money from you, like making double invoicing, invoice services which never happen or say they must give "tea money".

If you are not with a bigger international shipping forwarding company who has their own staff there who can handle this you will be a victim of blackmail. Maybe because once your shipping forwarding personal effects arrived in the custom warehouse every day in the custom warehouse costs money - after a very short grace period - that means if you have a dispute for your shipping forwarding company you are on the loosing end.

As a matter of fact this also happens with crooks in Europe like Rotterdam or Hamburg.
For example they will tell you the goods must be transported now from the storage after the ship unload.

Now to get it onto the truck, this costs money and unless you don't pay for this the goods wont be moved. If you tell them you paid for door to door they tell you, this is not included and so on.

With a bigger international shipping forwarding company in Myanmar this might not be happen, because the person lets say in Rotterdam or New York is a employee of the same company, that means he is somehow under control.
