[pianotech] Overseas shipping to USA & Ivory issues.

Hi Victor,

Your should probably contact the US Customs agents and run it by them.  I know 
that it is possible to get permits- but Customs will be the final word on cost 
(if any) and need for permits.  Also, you will need the age of the instrument 
and country of manufacture.

Hello everyone,

I have a few questions from a client. She has a Bosendorfer 6' that has interest 
to ship to here from England. Would anybody have any idea of a ball park figure 
of cost? She is trying to weigh wether it is worth the cost.
The other question I have is what is the situation with ivories? I would guess 
that this instrument has ivories (from the late 70's). Is it still that 
documented papers from the origination of where the ivories hve been purchased, 
and where has the elephant was killed?

Thank a lot.
