Not that I have the any correct legal answers, but in a past life I worked for a research medical company that shipped equipment from the US to the EU(Germany) as "Research". Yes, it did reduce the headache of customs, cost, taxes, etc. If I remember correctly, the product that was labeled as "Research" had to have an "EXIT DATE" (I think 1 yr MAX) as to when it would be shipped back to the country of origin. If it was not proven to have been shipped out of the receiving country by that date, the person that received the product had hell to pay.
Just my 2C, if I remember correctly :? ------------------------------------ Can't wait to meet everyone walking down the street via GPS for the "OM High-Five".

I used to work in a logistic/marketing/other stuff buisness, and in many places labeling transportations as "research item" was a good idea (but it has to be, in some way, related to research, because it gets controlled) On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 9:02 PM, Torfinn Ingolfsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > > On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 7:53 PM, steve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > i'll look into it, but this country by country selective processing is > > defeating the purpose. > > If this is valid for other countries, perhaps such a letter / note > could be added to every 10 pack you send out? > (If the same letter / note can be used for all cases, of course) > Granted, I don't know how much overhead in packaging this would incur. > -- > Regards, > Torfinn Ingolfsen > Norway > > > > _______________________________________________ > Openmoko community mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > -- My corner of the web: http://blog.ramsesoriginal.org _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
