Checking the MAFF charges, they charge per hour. Given that the inspection at my house took about 20 minutes a per box charge is almost certainly higher!
I'll get back to you if I can confirm this.
Yep, you can insist on paying the MAF bill directly, and if the shipping company aren't forthcoming, go directly to MAF and they'll figure out what you charge should be from your bill of laden documents. This is such an old scam now
