10-2019 SV Longta We bought a pair of sails from Lee Sails in Hong Kong. We were in Nuku Hiva and we used Kevin (Nuku Hiva Yacht Services) as our agent. We used the "yacht in transit" process because of the value of the purchase. Everything was handled seamlessly and our sails arrived (earlier than originally quoted!) on the Aranui.

*Jean-Pierre was my initial contact and the person I dealt with face-to-face. He speaks pretty good English. He’s either the owner or the Manager. I think Emilie did most of the leg work and I emailed back and forth with her for some details. I usually sent my inquiries to both of them. Jean-Pierre made the deliveries personally, though, dropping them off at the marina gate using his own car. I usually paid him in cash at the time of delivery, but also paid cash into an account at their bank directly across the street from the marina when some minor adjustments were necessary. I did three imports with Bollore. The first was just an iPad that had gotten tangled up in red tape in the mail. Jean-Pierre did this for free, I think because I’d been personally referred to him by a mutual friend and because we’d already started discussing my bigger shipment. The second was house batteries, etc, amounting to about $4500. The third was a new-used helm pedestal valued at about $500. I’d say Bollore’s fees on these worked out to about 5%. There were no hassles on any of these, only time and patience required, none due to delays that I would attribute to Bollore. Actual shipping into Tahiti was out of Los Angeles through Vanguard at: LALA FARAIMO JR.

As I understand it Vanguard also used to act as an import agent here but, due to some bad actors among us cruisers, won’t do that anymore and I only used their shipping service. Although the requirements for paperwork were a hassle, I had no trouble with Vanguard themselves at all. Roy (SV Mabruka) 9-2018*

We used Gondrand for both importing a battery charger and also importing the boat. Battery charger was in customs less than 4 hours before I had it in hand! The company is used by the majority of boats that want to import their vessel into French Polynesia. We can highly recommend them. (Jacaranda) They are located very close to McDonalds in city center. I have only dealt with them via email and phone - Yes importation was all handled via email and phone. (Jacaranda)
