This is another problem, here in Italy for the packs
from outside Europa the custom ask a 20% in tax. Just
few days ago E.Olson have sent to me my Vigarano slice
via FedEx. After 2 days I received a phone from Milan
where a Mrs ask to me if I want pay $250 of tax for a
pack, this only why the insure of $1200 write on the
pack. I am sorry but I have addvise I no want pay a
similar tax and I have ask the return of the piece in
USA. For the moment the pack is not return in USA. I
hope is no go lost or I kill in first the persons of
the custom in Milan, and after the persons of the
FedEx.
Regards

Matteo
