Speaking for the recipients of the Norwegian shipment you got the invoice for: The CDs got through to us, but the invoice stated both a media and an intellectual value that ended us costing us around $100 in taxes (for 88 sets). Even though the invoice says that the shipment have no commercial value, I think it was a mistake to place a bait like this for the customs people.. just a nominal media value should be enough. Even though we don't manage to persuade the customs people to drop this, I think it was money well spent.. > Greg -oddbjørn Freenix Norge _________________________________________________________________________ http://oddbjorn.bdc.no/ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
