Special Note Regarding Import / Export of Goods
Importing and exporting items between countries can create some complicated
issues. You should be aware that as an importer or exporter, you may be subject
to the complex laws of two or more countries. Some items may be banned from
shipping over country borders (including some computers), require special
licensing or incur quotas, stiff fees and duties. In addition, you may not be
permitted to conduct business with entities in certain countries, or commerce
may be restricted to certain items.
WorldWide Trader.com cannot provide advice on the import or export of items.
It is recommended that you consult an expert in the field if you are unfamiliar
with the laws and regulations associated with international commerce. Below we
have provided links to some government agencies that will assist in answering
your questions and guide you in the right direction.
