[meteorite-list] US shipping restrictions Was-Question for Europeandealers

[Rob Holcomb]

Actually the 1 pound limit was imposed by Japan Post; Japan Post will not 
accept packages larger than 1 pound bound for the US. As far as the USPS 
there are no other countries imposing a similar ban on Airmail. Though 
security will be tighter than it was before the fan mail from Yemen arrived. 
(All ground and sea based shipments are unaffected.)

ALSO if you are a registered Japanese commercial business making shipments 
to the US (on the international safe shippers list) this ban will not impact 
your shipments to the US.
