Re: customers broker / freight forwarder

I am interested in bringing over by airfreight about 500 to 600 kgs of items
(pottery and brass) from India for a show in June in North Carolina. Does
anyone know of a good customers broker / freight forwarder that could handle
this for me? They would have to store the freight for a few days as well
till we can get into the show to set up the merchandise.

just the cost of the goods on board the vessel in the country of origin

"when?".
