New Age Duty Free

[Ralph Katzenell]

Thanks all.
I'm Hamburging next week. Picking up some very nice goodies. I'll just abandon the ex-EC vat, stash in my liggage and hope for the best.
I think there's too much trade at risk here for some solution not to be worked out eventually, and sooner rather than later.
