Hi Kalera -
I just found this on the Trade Information Center website about licensing: "Though your locality may require a business license, a special license is not required to engage in exporting in most cases. However, exports to certain countries or individuals or exports of certain products may be restricted or require licenses or other types of approval. For example, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issues licenses for the export of certain "dual-use items", i.e., items with both civilian and military applications. For more information about special licensing for exporting, see the articles titled "Export Controls" and "Export Classification Numbers (ECCN)". " This is from a TIC October 2002 article entitled STARTING AN EXPORT COMPANY. I think we can safely say our bead exports don't require a license. I'd like to know, however, where you found the information about exporting over $500 worth of goods a year requiring a license. I looked into export regulations over four years ago and never did find anything on any government website that indicated I needed a license at all. Just want to be sure that 9/11 didn't change things and it's just not showing up on the webpages I've seen this afternoon. Thanks and HTH!

After following some of the links on the page you gave, I'm pretty sure beads don't require a special export license to sell overseas - unless, of course, they contain hidden nuclear secrets and you're sending them to Cuba! LOL! Seriously, I'll research this more thoroughly when I have more time, but I truly think you needn't worry about beads. Mj |

That's for the *whole year*. Basically where I'm at right now is that if I ship one more thing overseas this year without the license and they catch me, I'm screwed. I HAD NO IDEA. I'm going to call SCORE for more easily comprehensible information about the license. The government site is a PITA to make sense of. Maybe this is one of those stupid old laws that never got repealed or whatever, and no-one is bored or stupid enough to have the job of counting? Here's hoping anyway... I couldn't think of a more dumb law or how someone even came up with that one! What a boring life that person must have had! Mavis |

Ah, but that's why I'm calling SCORE instead of the gov... SCORE is a
neat little non-profit agency made up of experienced businesspersons who volunteer their time and knowledge to help out youngsters like me. MJ, if you're reading this, the link is in my OP... but I couldn't makse sense of the website, hence deciding to call SCORE. I didn't do it today because I still can't talk, but I hope to call this week when my voice is better. -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay AmazeR wrote: On Tue, 18 May 2004 11:20:44 -0700, Kalera Stratton wrote: Thanks!

If you don't know you need a license to do something, and when you do your research on the proper ways to do it it never gets mentioned in any of the documentation you read, how are you going to find out? government regs are really the pits... I have to agree with that! Cheryl DRAGON BEADS Flameworked beads and glass http://www.dragonbeads.com/ |
