Bonjour, Ce que je ne comprends pas c'est que ce soient les douanes de Hong Kong qui mettent des bâtons dans les roues de leurs propres exportateurs! Contrôler les envois par rapport aux risques liés au transport de lipos c'est ok. Mais d'après le mail de Hobbyking ça ressemble à un excès de zèle bureaucratique? On pourrait imaginer ça au niveau des douanes des pays importateurs, mais en sortie c'est plutôt contre productif. Effectivement si ils approvisionnent mieux l'entrepôt allemand, ce sera tout aussi bien pour nous
