I recently sent some conus shells to the States coming from the Philippines. All the shells were legal and came with the proper Certification from the fisheries in my country. But my client complain that he was charge with the following fees from US fish and wildlife. The fees are stated bellow. Special License $55 inspection fee of $75.00 for each received shipment Is this normal in the U.S. I only sent 80 pcs of small common conus and uncommon conus shells. Is it really this hard to send shells to the states? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] - a forum for informal discussions on molluscs To leave this list, click on the following web link: http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=conch-l&A=1 Type your email address and name in the appropriate box and click leave the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
