We are not asking Mark to become involved with transport because there are numerous specialised firms to do this for us... contact me directly with these kinds of questions please.

At the present time, Mark W. is providing a collection point and will pack our container once the loose ends are tied up as best we can manage. Unfortunately, these loose ends are far-flung and some of it just becoming known to me.

At all points we are flexible and patient - so that we can achieve the best result for the money invested. Hang in there because this WILL be completed - a lot of money, effort and time has been invested by all involved.

While I don't have a stick in this fire I did recently check out importation of some heavy objects that needed to be crated. Mark is correct in that anything made of wood needs to be removed or fumigated (and stamped) or it will be stopped. BUT Manufactured wood products are excepted from regulation I.E. Plywood. As long as the crates are made entirely of plywood, particle board etc you will be OK.

My friends couldn't find anybody in the area they knew that would help.  Sorry. :-\

Anyone know somebody in Poland?

If I could find someone to act as a go between with one of the Polish Andoria diesel sales I'd get one of those to England.  However without a direct contact in Poland I'm struggling.

Perhaps it's a ploy in code.  Now where is that Rosetta stone that was pilfered out of the middle East some decades ago?

Gentlemen,

Be sure to check the rules. It can be very expensive.
My latest shipment of GM90 Listeroids got stopped at the port in Canada and was deemed to be lacking adequate fumigation.
By import law the whole container had to be immediately fumigated and returned to the most recent port. In this case Shanghai China.
(It went from India to China to Canada)
After an inspection in China it was shipped back to Canada where passed customs, but got seized by the freight company until "somebody" pays the additional $8000 for special fumigation, storage, re-crating, shipping twice more across the pond, inspections fees, and on...and on....and on...

After 5 months I got it resolved and the faulty party is now being chased for the money.

So, unless you want a whole bunch of paperwork, additional fees, and an extra 5 month wait, make sure about the fumigation requirements.

Second item is the wood crating itself.
By US law all incoming wood crates must now be made from specially treated wood with proper numbered markings showing that it is insect resistant.

Check with an import authority and make sure you comply. One option is to not crate at all and leave the engines open for inspection.
Of course this creates additional problems of stability and safety.

Good luck,
veggie

Thanks Veggie,

We are trying to avoid wood crating altogether and using steel stillages for protecting the engines.

Wondered why you had been out of engines so long Veg, sorry to hear that.  By "resolved" I asume you now have the engines but are on the hook for the extra charges? If its any of my business.

Hi 38ac,

Actually, I have a good customs /transport agent who arranged all the shipping.
They arranged to get the goods released (after 5months) and they are going after the fumigation/crating company in India for the money.
All engines were pre-sold and have now been sent to their new homes.
That was the last of the Listeroids for me.

There are some parts kits available for all the GM90 6HP & 8HP users out there....

cheers,

 It's a shame the epa asswipes regulate the importation of listeroid engines. I wish so much they would disband the epa and fire all the cocksuckers that work for the epa!

Wow harryzx-12,

You need to stop holding back.  It's hard on your heart and spirit.

I agree that its a shame that small niche people get caught up in regulations that are really written for the GMs and Toyotas of the world.  I do really like the clean air that Seattle has to offer and so there are good side effects of these desperadoes endeavor to ruin your life.
