We opt for the latter.
We work with the consultants, our banks, the logistics partner. Submit a lot of documents.
But… the final application keeps getting rejected.
Given that our launch deadline was getting closer, today we decided to pay the taxation/duty fee and get the shipment released.
We will absorb these losses within our margins, is what we decide. Hopefully, the next consignment won’t face the same predicament.
Hope to get them in our office within a day or two.
