Even (or especially!) if they are of "$0" value prototypes. High-tech items such as this "super-high-tech" oscillator cannot be exported into all countries w/o export license. You have to check the list, and then consider each country individually. Usually most western countries do not present an issue except maybe Israel. Fedex for example will ask for a "harmonized code" from the CCL to be written on the transport paperwork, and will not export it without written declaration by you. The government can be extremely sensitive to this, that's why some companies like MiniCircuits require a declaration of conformance even when buying and shipping their parts in the US! It is for example illegal to just sent schematics to China via email without export license... bye, Said ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
