Gee this place is turning to crap with a few over opinionated peeps
I have imported many a container with the right people on the job it is not a problem you just have to foot the bill
Obviously no one else can be a 100%correct , caveoftreasures how about pulling your head out of the sand
and have a look around there are plenty of other people in the pinball industry
Also you seem to be the only one holding a grudge with your smart ass comments about the other forum,get over it

I think it is very wise that anyone considering importing ANYTHING is fully aware of the problems and pitfalls - I also think it is very foolish for some to be offering advice like "it's so simple - just do it - nothing ever goes wrong" - HA! I can cite many examples of how a small silly thing can ruin your day when it comes to importing. I bring in an average of six X 20' containers a year and have done so for many years.
I still have the occasional 'issue' - it is NOT all beer and skittles and offering advice that implies you will never have a problem is very short sighted.
