It is better to use large company:
1) set up credit line, some cost let them prepay for you. Let us say demurrage charge, my company even send certi. check by overnight, you still could not pick up next day, because F--k bond warehouse should clear check first, you will get another day charge. Use broker house to guarantee payment.
2) let broker pay duty, which way need you have a nice credit line. Like my company $50,000.00 in broker house. Sometimes, your cash is very tight, you can pay later to broker house. US customs collect duty normally within 10 days.
3) if emergency, big broker house can help you.
