Update on self import through Baltimore. Must give a BIG shout out to the people involved with the entire Baltimore self import process. Dealt primarily with USF&W Inspector Cockey at BWI who couldn't have been more helpful assisting me file my EDecs and paperwork package online and their clearance at BWI. The employees at Swissport Cargo Services, especially Janet who handled the documentation and expedited the delivery were great. Refreshing also to see dock workers that were efficient and timely at loading the box on the pickup truck. Customs is now in the terminal building (E) and that took about two minutes for final clearance.
All total, from the time we arrived at Swissport, got USF&W clearance, cleared customs and were loaded, a total of 54 minutes had passed, a far cry from the usual two hour ordeal at Philly dealing with the cargo warehouse goons and the all day, ten phone calls to Delta Cargo, three courier trips, and other assorted glitches going through Atlanta.
