By what means have you imported them into the US? It might be helpful to the reader if you could describe the process and the various postal regulations involved.

Material coming in letters should also be properly declared on the outside of the envelope, but there are concerns about doing so for fear of theft. <br /><br />Sorry your experiment did not work out, but not surprised. Your Polish correspondent is really just interested in scoring perceived points against what he regards as corrupt collectors and dealers.Cultural Property Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924359202414555962noreply@blogger.com
