04Before you go

Tips from the office

  1. 01

    Shoes are sold by the carton in mixed size runs. Ask exactly which sizes are in the carton before agreeing — a carton weighted to sizes nobody wears is money lost.

  2. 02

    Ask for the carton dimensions. Shoes are light and bulky, and sea freight is charged on the space they take.

  3. 03

    Branded lookalikes are everywhere here and are the goods most likely to attract attention at customs.
