I still do the same thing, but I get a form from the post office which they
attach to the package. I have never had a problem. I also put a second
shipping label with name, address, and same notation INSIDE THE BOX so that
if customs opens it, the info is not lost. Karen

>Hello, everybody, from snowy St. Louis!  But I`m afraid it will not snow
enough toget me out of work tomorrow (I am a church organist).   But about
the main subject; it has been a long time since I was sending shells out of
the country.  We used to write on the customs form "seashells for scientific
study; no commercial value."  Is this the best thing to write now, or what
should I put?  Thanks ahead of time,  Linda
