I would be a little careful about using 7103.10.00.00. This is actually
reserved for precious stones (other than diamonds - code is 7102) that are
unworked/simply sawn/roughly shaped/not mounted. It might actually have the
opposite effect and draw attention to your otherwise ugly old brown rocks!
;-)
You'll find it below. Australia and a few other countries I checked are
identical.

Subject: [meteorite-list] [IMCA] RE- Customs holding packages
Brian Schroeder, Warren and all you other blokes!! ;-)
Brian, Thanks for sharing the info about the " NATURAL MINERAL SPECIMEN HC
# 7103.10.00.00 " Harmonized code. I remember you telling us about this a
couple of years ago or maybe longer, and when you mentioned that you'd
been working in shipping it rang a bell. Thanks again for this code. I've
now saved a file and printed it for future use.
It's very much appreciated by me and all the others I'm sure.
Warren and Gary, on the issue of you at first hand printing the customs
form, which I normally have done in the past and then changing to the ebay
printed format, did the printed ebay format have some errors on it or is
it just too difficult for customs agents or shipping agents to understand?
I gathered that there was something wrong with the ebay new format on
their form, but you didn't mention exactly what it was or perhaps my old
brain being filled with useless info could not decipher what you said. Let
us all know.
Hope things work out, and yes, I'm sure the Brits and everyone will be
much happier with you. It has amazed me over the past few years that where
a few years ago so many meteorites sold by U.S. collectors were only being
sold to other U.S. dealers and collectors to now where there is much more
of an international group that is buying from the U.S. We're not only all
over the universe out in space, but International as well!!!! ;-)
Have a wonderful, happy and safe day filled with cloud free skys and may a
meteorite land in your yard today!
Brian Cox
