Haha thanks. It’s been a couple years now. BTW there is a Customs Broker community on Lemmy, the fact that you even know what I’m talking about makes me think you work in the industry. Someone else started the community but I’m the only person who seems to post in it.

I wish we could afford one, but so many other maintenance issues come up, and our property tax and home insurance seem to go up every year, so who knows if we’ll ever be able to. We’re also well below even the new median salary of homes getting them. Just glad we can afford our reasonable mortgage and modest home in our high CoL area.
Studied and passed the US Customs Brokers exam on the first try.
Yeah and it’s almost impossible to find any info about it because of some stupid Warframe thing that uses ‘Eidolon’ in the title. Get out of here with that AAA microtransaction crap game. :-)
Is PotatOS a new Linux distribution?
Eidolon. Nice little gem, very relaxing and I’m constantly wanting to find the next scrap of info. I’ve been compiling them into a timeline as best I can.
Yep, fresh tomatoes fall under chapter 7 of the HTS - “Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers”. Pretty much every country uses the first six digits of the HTS code, so at some point the WCO (World Customs Organization - the ones who manage the HTS) agreed with that idea.
Also, in their Explanatory Notes for chapter 7, they say this:
" In headings 07.09, 07.10, 07.11 and 07.12 the word “vegetables” includes edible mushrooms, truffles, olives, capers, marrows, pumpkins, aubergines, sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata), fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta, fennel, parsley, chervil, tarragon, cress and sweet marjoram (Majorana hortensis orOriganum majorana)."
As someone who works with classifying goods imported into the US under the Harmonized Tariff System, this is super interesting. I’ll have to do some research to see if Customs still uses this rationale. Thanks for posting!
As someone who has a client who is an automotive OEM (I work with Customs and Imports), most of the parts are made by suppliers, who use parts from other suppliers, and barely anything is done in-house except maybe final assembly, so your comment totally tracks.
It’s suppliers all the way down LOL.
They’ll get to it after they agree on the best Linux distro.
I just want to play Forza Horizon 4 that I stupidly bought on Game Pass, on my Steam Deck, without having to buy it on Steam.
They did make a new Bill & Ted a few years ago. I keep meaning to get around to watching it.
One of many games on my wishlist. Looks really cool.
I guess I’m just a boring person, I have nothing really to say or share that is post worthy, but I try to contribute to discussions when I can.
So I can either wait 5 seconds in silence, or have to watch a 5 second (possibly longer) ad? I know which one I’ll choose.
I always find borscht tastes better to me the next day. The flavors seem to blend better. Great with sour cream and some black bread.
I don’t know what to say. I went in not expecting a 1 to 1 of the books. I agree there are definitely some things that are very questionable and things I don’t like, and I think there are some cool things about it too. I love the books and they will always be there for me to enjoy. I just don’t have the energy to get that upset about stuff like this anymore. I’m not trying to change your mind and I see where you’re coming from. I’m just trying to say that liking the series doesn’t automatically mean you’ve never read the books.
Read and loved them since I was a kid. I understand that different mediums have different requirements and adapting stories from the 40s/50s might necessitate some changes. I definitely have my issues with it, but I am able to enjoy it for what it is and not pretend it’s a 1 to 1 version of the books. Life is too short to get upset about entertainment.
I would say Severance, For All Mankind, & Foundation are all good to great. Apple TV has been doing a great job with the quality vs. quantity compared to other services. I tried to get into Ted Lasso but it wasn’t for me.
You mostly got it! You help take care of all the Customs details for clearing goods across borders. Also with classifying goods (almost every country uses the Harmonized Tariff System) and other regulations. Not so much with the transportation side although there is often a lot of crossover.
