Hello Jim

I just calculated but I have to pay 618.81 USD
for the broker and there was a phytosanitaire on the parcel
from less as 2 kilo
I find this a abnormal price

When I receive a shipment coming into the USA by air freight, I use a
customs broker to handle clearing the shipment and to forward it on to me.
I pay for all these extra services, which are avoided if one uses the
postal service. In all cases, a phytosanitary certificate must accompany
the shipment. It gets to be expensive. I rarely import anything anymore.
