There will no doubt be port handling fees, storage fees and reloading fees onto a truck.
Clearing agents are the go between the customer and customs, these agents are bonded and responsible for the information they lay before customs. Whether a private individual would be allowed to do this is debatable.
I wouldn't have thought there was much difference between clearing one bike in a container or six, there would be more import duty and VAT to pay but the paperwork should be similar, just a case of putting 6 off instead of 1 off.
