The bike reached Dallas yesterday and it took a while to get the customs
process completed. I had to hire a customs broker (Rhonda) to get the
process finalized. I also had to pay the receiving freight dock. I paid
$1346.01 to the freight company for the sea and
land freight for shipment from Buenas Aires to Dallas. I paid the freight
dock $50 and the customs broker $150 for the paperwork processing at D/FW.
My Mother and Dad drove over and picked up the bike and returned it to
their house. I rode over there after work and it took my Dad and I less
than 30 minutes to have it off the trailer.
