How does this work for in-bound Customs ? Here in NZ, as soon as you have two importers in a container, it cannot be unpacked at a general importers warehouse. it must be unpacked at Customs bonded CFS with all the high costs that go with LCL. It is considered an FAK, not FCL. 2, 3 or 10 shippers is OK with one consignee, but not the other way around. Would need a big law change here before this would work.
