Could you name any such countries to which a private US citizen would actually be *likely* to make a shipment? I regularly ship "AMATEUR RADIO PARTS" - truthfully declared on the Customs form - to a wide range of countries (including India and even distant Alaska :-) without any problems. There are often import taxes to be paid, but that is a different issue. In 12 years and almost 2000 shipments I have never had a single report that the import of "AMATEUR RADIO PARTS" was not legal. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
