Said, I am sorry, I do not want to figth nor I want being involved in possible fights, nor do I give instructions to cheat, in contrary, I did try to help with my knowledge of european import laws and procedures for normal goods, shipped privatly. If necessary I can provide some documents concerned non commercial international shipments. I think that it is obvious for everybody, restricted items or confidential documents cannot be shipped this way. I was not aware of actual military or space-qualified and restricted items. Btw. I am familiar with such procedures, I designed and tested decades of years electronical systems and instrument-interfaces in international projects like Spacelab, ERS1, ERS2, ENVISAT etc. (worth up to ¬ 500E6) containing a big number of international hi-tech products...
I wish to Rick a good and wise hand for the distribution of his electronic jewels, containing a big amount of spirit from a very successful design engineer. 73, Arnold, DK2WT On Sun, 27 May 2007 16:32:22 EDT, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >In a message dated 5/27/2007 07:55:58 Pacific Daylight Time, >[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >>Hi Said, >>private international shipment and customs is not that problematic to my >>knowledge and experience, at least between the USA and Europe. >>On Sat, 26 May 2007 20:39:23 EDT, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> >Hi guys, > >ok, so there are always two approaches: you can (try to) get away with >stuff, or follow the law.
