Please note:
Export service fees are subject to change at any time, provided that the change will become effective at the end of the then-current monthly billing cycle. Adjustments will be based on actual changes in local taxes, duties and contractor costs.
Firstbase will only export qualified equipment from our Salt Lake City warehouse. Qualified equipment will be new and unopened laptops (still in original packaging) deemed by our international customs brokers to meet the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) clearance criteria to qualify for the below rates. These rates apply to the vast majority of laptop models. Firstbase reserves the right to ship equipment back to the customer at customer’s cost if the equipment is deemed unqualified for export.

Sample Calculation:
*US MSRP Value of Laptop = $2000 USD Destination Country = Colombia
Local Duties and Tax (% of CIF Cargo Value) = $2000 x 21% = $420 IOR Minimum Fee = $500 IOR Fee (% of Cargo CIF Value) = $2000 x 4.5% = $90 Fixed Cost Per Shipment = $1205
Total Export Charges = $420 + $500 (min fee > IOR fee so the min applies) + $1205 = $2125 Firstbase Service & Handling = $2125 x 8% = $170*
