Missing Data Notes:

  • Many Tropical Shipping entries show no declared values
  • Some FedEx invoices show charges but no declared value
  • Insurance values differ from declared customs values
  • Ocean freight often lacks declared values in documentation

What’s striking is the discrepancy between declared values and shipping patterns. The $154,000 customs entry in 2007 stands out as exceptionally high compared to typical $1-$7,000 declared values. The systematic use of minimal declared values ($1, $2, $10) for international shipments suggests potential customs undervaluation, while the shift to ocean freight in later years may indicate larger, bulkier items being transported with less documentation scrutiny.

Dig Deeper:

  • “The $154,000 customs entry in February 2007 is 22x higher than typical declared values – what specific goods were in this shipment and why was it valued so differently?”
  • “Tropical Shipping records show cargo descriptions but consistently lack declared values – were these shipments intentionally undervalued or were values recorded elsewhere?”
  • “FedEx invoices from 2000-2005 show many $1-$10 declared values for international shipments – what patterns emerge when comparing declared values to shipping costs and destinations?”
