Re: Direct Import from Africa - African Cichlids Aquaculture

Okay, here's what I came up with.  Please feel free to correct me if I've missed something or got something wrong, but I think this is it....

$10.00 per fish list price x 20 fish = $200.00 estimated**Cannot put actual pricing here sorry example just estimated

$225 shipping split 3 ways (me, you and Mike) = $75.00
~$18.00 Customs
$16.50 Tax **tax is charged to list price of fish at 8.25% est.

Total: $309.50  (which breaks down to $15.47 per fish)

I didn't include the box or bag fee since you can bring your own and not be charges for those.

Also, my Maswa are not for sale at the moment, however 2 of the females are holding right now so check back later.

Re: Direct Import from Africa - African Cichlids Aquaculture

just a reminder.

Do not post actual pricing of the fish.  No problem with posting the other items.  If Trippy needs pricing he needs to PM me or someone with the list and has to agree to the terms of disclosure for the list.

Thanks,

Geoff
