Hi Sir,

I've been in the forwarding industry for over three years na, and honestly, slim rajud kaayo ang chance nga mawagtang nang imong cargo (international) kay i.consolidate mana og isa ka container. Unless matagak ang container sa dagat or masayop og destination, mao nang mawagtang. You should use a good forwarder to make sure nga ma monitor ang imong cargo from origin to destination. To add to that,if mawagtang jud imong cargo, automatic man nga naay marine insurance, so maka claim jud ka, dili sa shipping line but sa imong forwarder. That is why, i.declare og tarong imong cargoes before ka mag ship.

On the other hand, if local gani hisgutan, kanang within the country ra, dako2x jud og chance nga mawagtang kay ining stripping, naay uban sa port mangawat. Inig abot sad sa warehouse, naa say mga kawatan. Naa man jud among opisina ibabaw sa 2GO, sa kadako sa warehouse, usahay di mabantayan. Labi nang mga gagmay. Naa may CCTV baya, naa lang jud say marukoy.

Mam, ang pinakapotential risk aneh kay electronic related goods mani is ang pagka damage while on transit.
Unya , gamay rabah kaayo percentage value ang from the actual cost as declared in the PI ang e compensate sa service provider .
Based on my experience working in DHL, Fedex, Aramex and Cargo companies in the middle east , custom duties, Prohibited/dangerous goods rules and regulations varies depends on the country/port of destination.
Restrictions on commodities, taxable items changes from time to time. We have like a book of guidelines from both Fedex and DHL and the contents are updated regularly. Sumtyms , we have to call our HO to confirm if restrictions are being lifted na on this particular item. Like for instances, fresh dates are not allowed to be ship to Canada that time. Maski, gani ako nakurat why oh why
Dili na sha generic, i.e. jewelries, mobile, food ( perishable or non-perishable)

Dri sa middle east Mam, AFAIK Imported food are non taxable labi pa jud mga perishable items. ( the last time dat I know)
While dras Pinas, nagpadala kog mobile from the Middle East naka discount ko sa freight charges being an employee of DHL however, tabla ray nepalit ko dra kay pagdeliver sa amoa dras Cebu pwerte dakoa sa Duties gepabayran sa akoa Mama.

OnT:
sir, kani imo worth 50k nga items mga pila man kaha estimate nimo total gross weight or cbm?
Importante man gud naa tay idea , para sumhow maka suggest ko nimo unsay mas economical and safe mode of shipment (SF/AF, LCL, FOB, C & F, thru Courier -door to door) para aneh klase nga commodity.
