Subject:      OT: Importing goods from Europe
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


Hi, this is a longshot, but since it's Fryday, I thought I'd throw this out
there for the esteemed group.


I'm contemplating a 180 degree career change, and have been considering
importing goods from throughout Europe--not car parts and accessories, but
high/mid-end consumer goods and artisan-crafted items.


Does anyone have any experience with this type of activity or know of
resources that can illuminate things like dealing with:




   - customs
   - exchange rates
   - North American distributors
   - direct sales contracts with European firms
   - warehousing on the continent
   - shipping from the continent


Thanks in advance if anyone wants to shoot me their thoughts off-list.




*Tschüss!*
