BIMCO books from Witherbys

If you are a BIMCO member, enter BIMCO as Promotional Code during checkout on Witherbys to get 20% discount.

If your company is located in the EU and buys a publication from Witherbys, there is a risk that a customs fee will be added to the cost of the publication.

We have seen cases where the customs fee is almost the same as the price of the publication.

To avoid this, you should consider acquiring BIMCO’s publications via one of the stockists working together with Witherbys.
