Re: [elektron] Import charges ?

2003-04-18 by simon leclerc

Well, i need a car first. Then you have to pay for gas.
There is hours of waiting at the border since 9-11. Plus,
i have to declare it at the border, so i will be charged
for import taxes on the spot.

You're on the WWW, not in your backyard having a beer.
