OK - my LaceNews Pinterest site is not about pins for making lace. It is a social internet site - think of it as a series of bulletin boards where you that you might pin photos too. Except that the board is a folder on the internet site, and the 'pin' is a picture from some website that you post

Unless there is something beyond page 2 of 4901, the cite you provided, which is highly unlikely, it is rather clear and unambiguous that books are free. At least that's what I think. They could hide something squirly someplace else, but the language is so clear in the chart... lrb, Esq. --

Re: [lace] Books - Import Impact on Price

I have always been under the impression that bringing books and printed material back from Europe, for personal use, is free. I think there is something on the form that you fill out in the airplane about this. This seems to be covered in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

Re: [lace] Books - Import Impact on Price

Hi Jeri,   I paid import duty on books one time when I brought in several hundred dollars worth of books through customs, even though they were all different titles: my total was over the personal exemption limit, which at the time was $200, so I paid duty on the amount over $200. (My luggage was V

Re: [lace] Books

I find that when looking for books, the best place for me to start at is Google search and then "shopping." Then I go from there. Sometimes I will put in an alert on either Google or eBay for an item. I have found some good deals that way. Shopping around seems to work for me. Some gently

Re: [lace] Pin update- still seeking

I have had similar issues with wire, and checked in with a wire maker. I found out that the core wire measurement is what is used. For example, a supa wire which is a copper core, at least one coat of color, and then a coat of silver is still gauged at the copper core size. Two or more coatings d

Import Taxes? For Books? In the U.S.? One thing I've noticed in these posts about inflated prices is references to paying import charges. I have obtained many books from overseas -- and NO DUTY was charged on them. Here is how books come home to me from other nations: 1. Direct purc

Thanks to all who have responded to the pin question, it has been very helpful. Acting on arachne sourced advice I decided to try to use a box of pins that I had from Holly Van Sciver which were labeled Bohin 30 x .85 nickel. As we have discovered the first number is the length and the second

Hello All! Following advice from Adele & Bev, I measured my pins as 26x.6. They are still a mystery as I don't know what they are used for. They were in an orphan box of mixed supplies including an inexpensive foam Honiton pillow & many sizes of white thread but my friend wasn't learning Honi

Hi Alex and fellow spiders,   Actually there's a bit of confusion about the shipping etc. charges for the copies of Alex's book already on ebay:  if the buyer is in the US, the shipping charges are only $3.43 for economy shipping (probably Media shipping which can take forever but doesn't cos

[lace] Books and suppliers list

There was once a list of suppliers on the Arachne website. It was removed due to obsolescence, and rightly so. However, this would be a good place to list suppliers of all sorts globally, and self publishers so they can be found. Thus the space on the digest would be preserved. Or even refer

The way the digest works is that it sends out messages once the 'file' reaches a certain size. It was created in the days when most people were paying by the second for downloads. Some still are, which is one of the reasons we are asked to trim our posts. If you were to even attempt to list eve

Hi Arachnids As a self-publishing author I give a discount to suppliers. However, the supplier has to pay carriage, which on heavy books, is substantial. Also when sending outside the EU there are usually import duties for them to pay and local sales tax. This will probably increase the price they
