[meteorite-list] IMCA] RE- Customs holding packages

[Brian Cox]

Thanks Jeff,

What the heck should we use? Now, after you pointed this out, I don't want 
to use any HC-Harmonized Code.

I do remember that code 7103 and 7102 from before and now I think about it, 
I actually didn't use it since I was afraid it would get someone's attention 
who might want to steal gemstones or in the case of 7102 ,which is for any 
kind of diamonds, rough, unworked or simply sawn, etc. If you look under 
http://hts.usitc.gov/Table%2025.xml it gives you every kind of other rock, 
asbestos, sandstone, cement etc., but nothing really that seems perfect for 
meteorites.

I looked up the 7102 on the http://hts.usitc.gov and it gave 20 categories, 
all of the rough diamond listings below. I don't think we should use those 
either, since someone might think they're rough diamonds and turn into a 
mole and swallow them at the shipping company or the Customs Department. If 
they swallow Murchison they might turn into a Super Human or an Alien.  ;-)

Thanks,

Brian Cox
