Thank you,

Mike,

Here are some things I have uncovered:

*Billing
*No burlap bags
*Food regulations

Fuller data below.  I will call you on this.

Thank you,
Ben
C:  989 225 8511

Billing Options from Ghana to United States:

 *   Shipping Charges

 *   Shipping charges can only be billed to the shipper.

 *   Duties and Taxes

 *   Duties and taxes can only be billed to the shipper.

 *   Third-Party Billing (Third Party Billable Countries)

 *   Please note the following third party billing exceptions:
    *   Shipments to and from the same country (domestic shipments) cannot be billed to third party payors in other countries. For example, shipments from Mexico to Mexico or Canada to Canada cannot be billed to a third party payor in the U.S. This rule does not apply to UPS domestic services in European Union countries. For example, shipments from Germany to Germany can be billed to a third party payor in the U.S. (as long as the payor is a business and has a VAT or Tax/EIN ID on file with UPS).

 *   Payment Methods

 *   When paying by credit card, check, or cash, only the shipper can be billed the shipping charges

Agricultural Materials (Burlap)
Because burlap or jute bagging may harbor the Khapra Beetle, such articles are regulated when arriving from countries where this pest is endemic.

Food
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made some changes to its regulations on the submission of prior notice for imported food. Changes to the prior notice regulations:

 *   Removes the requirement that the identity of the anticipated border crossing within the port of arrival be provided in the prior notice
 *   Removes the requirement to provide the 6 digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule number in the prior notice
 *   Requires the registration number of the manufacturer (or the full address of the manufacturer and a reason) in all circumstances
 *   The final rule will require the PN (prior notice) to include the name and full address of the shipper, if the shipper is different from the manufacturer (in order to eliminate duplicative requirements)

Identity of the manufacturer, for food no longer in its natural state (for commercial shipments):

 *   The final rule will revise the PN information requirements in 21 CFR 1.281(a)(6) for an article of food that is no longer in its natural state, to require the name of the manufacturer and either:
    *   The registration number, city and country of the manufacturer or
    *   Both the full address of the manufacturer and the reason the registration number is not provided

Identity of manufacturer if such food sent as a personal gift:

 *   The final rule will revise the PN information requirements for an article of food that is no longer in its natural state to remove the current option that allows the name and address that appears on the label under 21 CFR 101.5 to be submitted instead of the name, address, and registration number of the manufacturer for food sent by an individual as a personal gift (i.e., for non-business reasons) to an individual in the U.S.
