I am an international pianist and piano technician. I am a Goan-my parents are from Graca de Chorao (Maddel). My parents and my two sisters are here in Canada. I read your e-mails every day. My daughter will finish her post graduate studies next year. So, I am seriously thinking about re-locating to Goa for a while. I have been informed that there is a serious shortage of trained piano technicians in Goa. So I have been thinking about offering my professional services as a U.S. trained certified piano tuner/technician, to piano owners in Goa. I could also export good used pianos from Canada, that would be in knocked down condition. I would re-assemble them in Goa, and they would cost a lot less than the pianos that are being sold in Goa now. These are American and Canada made pianos of very good quality, and far superior to the new Chinese made pianos being sold in Bombay and elsewhere in India. I am also keen to impart my knowledge to a few Goans who would like to take up piano tuning/repair as a trade, so that they could keep pianos in Goa in good tune. However, I need to know about the customs policies in India, and the customs duties that are imposed on imported items. Would you be able to help by letting me have the e-mail addresses of the seaport customs office in Goa? Just in case, I'd like their postal address too. I am a Canadian citizen. But since the Indian Government proposes to grant dual nationality shortly, that might make things easier. I would appreciate hearing from you. Once again, thank you very much. Yours sincerely, Victor Martins Happy holidays to Goanetters headed HOME !! ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
