Andrew,

The little green slip is also sufficient here for any parcel under 5 pounds.
I even get stuff with no slip, just the declaration written out on the box.
All usually no problem.  It is just with these last two shipments.  As for
rights, that is a funny thing about security.  The more security you add on
the more things are balanced by a loss of freedoms or rights.  Contact me
for instructions?  Yeah...  I have had shells shipped from overseas for
years and this is the first I have run into any problem.  I just hope it is
an aberrant activity and not the new norm.
