These Buggers have done it again.
can anyone remember the number that I have to put on the N10 Form?

[humpybong]

Is the value less than or greater than A$1000.00?

If you are talking about GST exemption you need to show:


  GSTE=417

Thanks mate , I am actually looking for the "Tariff Classification" Number:)

[trout]

All is good I found the number I was looking for :good:

I sent this message with the paperwork.

Hi There,
You have once again held one of my packages of coins that I sent to the US to be graded and encapsulated.
I didn't buy these overseas I bought them in Australia.
I sent them to the US to be graded.
I have filled out the N10 form and have attached it along with the invoice from PCGS.Once you receive these can you send me an invoice so that I can once again pay the ridicules $48.85 fee.
It must be awful hard work to look at a packing slip to charge me for doing it.

Regards

James Hudson

I have my doubts the officials will understand the sarcasm/irony. However, you can but try.

Yes I know but for nearly $50 and an extra wait of a Month at least, I recon I have to say my piece

[trout]

I'm still getting the run around from these Jerks.
Next time I send my dollar coins away to be graded they will be valued at "Face Value".
I am SOOOOO over these Bureaucratic thieves .
Its not the extra cost its all the red tape I have to go through and the delays that really annoy me.
They can't keep all the drugs and illegal immigrants out of the country But they are in there like a flash when my coins arrive from the States :dash1:

Trout,

Why do any work when you can get paid for nothing ? I have done work in most Gov. departments, some of the so called jokes are closer to the truth than most people realize.

[trout]

I have sent another 58 coins away to be graded But I put them in 3 different submissions.
It will cost me over $100 extra in postage but at least I won't get stuffed around by customs when they arrive back in Aus :good:

I have to try something because the last two submissions have caused me a heap of ANGST .
It is enough drama filling out the forms, labelling the coins, waiting for their safe arrival to PCGS .
Then Paying for the grading fees and waiting until MY coins finally arrive back home without these creeps stuffing me about for another Month and charging me extra money, time and effort at the same time.
These guys don't even open the package to check what is in there, they just look at the value of the contents and screw you over for $48.80 and make you wait another Month to get what is your own property back :dodgy:
I am SOOOO dirty on these Scumbags at the moment

Trout I can understand where you are coming from.

Could it be that Customs record all your dispatched to the States and the returns and as you are an individual, they are treating you harshly.

Have you ever thought of having yourself deemed a company, (most probably you may already be that) and inform customs of your dealing.

Just might lighten the anxiety a wee bit for you.

Why not talk to Walter and see what happens to his packages.   Does Walter have the same charges etc?

I am just a collector like you that Loves his Dollar coins.
I am NOT a dealer or have my own company, I unfortunately have to work for a living :ok:
I have NO idea how Eric, Walter or the other big players get around this problem and yet these guys are regular contributors to this site and haven't "Enlightened" me how to avoid this pit fall as of yet:angel:
I am just flying with the idea of sending 25-30 coins at a time under 1k  until I get my collection done and avoid the "Turkeys' at customs

Hi,

Having a sarcastic streak myself I would write to the senior people at Customs, the Prime Minister and others asking how do I get things through with-out inspection delay and cost. I would ask what do the drug dealers and gun importers do to get through easily. I thought Coins were legal, when was the last time someone was killed with collectable Coins ?

If you write a really good letter, ( amusing ) it may get someone to do something. A letter normally has to be filed and replied to, an Email can easily be deleted. Rare for a phone call to get anywhere.
