IN PANAMA:

Excellent shipping agent. We used Boris' services to assist us with clearing our vehcile from the port in Panama. Cost $100 for processing the 2 vehicles in our container. In our opinion his assiatnce was worth every cent.
The porcess itself is not complicated but is time consuming. Boris assisted us with obtaining insurance and completed the necessary paperwork in advance for us. His assistance enabled us to get our vehcile out of port in 1 day.
