About the container, the 2 basic rules are :
1. You buy and arrange the delivery to COW yourself
2. Container departs when full (even if it is 10 months later)
As for the cost of shipping. I tried to be as close as possible to what I used to pay with Thomas (meaning 300euro per cab).
Container will be there beginning of February, so soon I will have the final cost per cab but the target is pretty achieved (I encountered few problem such as going via Antwerp or the exchange rate increasing a bit).
What is pretty sure is that next container will be more expensive than this one because of the EUR/USD exchange rate.
Most of services are paid in USD. VAT at arrival depends on the value of the goods in euro, so stronger is the USD, stronger is the VAT
