[Premium-Rx] OT - Shipping Receivers

[Jacques Gombert]

Hello Bill
One years ago i have needed to ship 3 Harris products include my RF 390 to
France and i use an american company specialized for international shipping
(box, pick up and transfert with the customs between US (new york) and
FR(directly to my location) the cost about 400$
The result is seriuos, no problem just i pay the local taxes about 4% of the
proforma invoice
Good luck
Jacques
