The importer is responsible for paying all costs associated with customs exams, including exam fees, service fees, transportation costs, and storage costs
If an LCL (less than container load) shipment is selected for a customs exam, the costs will be divided proportionally among the importers of the LCL shipments in the container.
It is important for importers to be aware of these potential costs and to factor them into their budget when importing goods.
