Listers
I just got a call from a UPS agent who called to ask me U.S. Customs
questions on the shipment of Lotus parts coming from England. She was
balking at the "bearing" that was in the shipment. I think it would
have likely been a clutch throwout bearing. She needed to know the
country of origin, the manufacturer of the bearing, whether it was a
needle or roller bearing, etc... so she could determine the
"anti-dumping" duty. I said I didn't have the foggiest idea, and to
charge me the highest tarrif on the part.. about $15. I just want my
parts. The various other bushings, rods, mounts, tanks, etc. in the
shipment had had no problems. Has anybody heard of anti-dumping tarrifs
concerning bearings. What should I have said?
