James! Haven't ya heard? Hawaii is now a state! :-) No customs forms involved. Just send it as you would to any other state. As for filling out customs forms when you are sending things out of the country, best to be straightforward. "Spoiled meat" would certainly get your box confiscated. I once experimented with alternate listings on customs slips, in an effort to make the contents sound a bit less attractive and marketable. Labeling the box "zoological specimens", while accurate, got the box held up in customs until I sent an explanatory letter. "Sea shells" is your best bet. "Raw seashells" is also good. To a customs inspector, this means plain, unworked shells (as opposed to jewelry made from shells, etc., which might be taxed). Paul M. > > > >
