    I just ran into a problem, in the past we only shipped to people in
    the military, because they deserve a little extra effort, hey it's a
    hard job. The problem for me is standing in line at the Post Office
    costs me money. Now our Postal System refuses to let us use the small
    green customs form since we are selling the items, even for military
    mail (no customs charges anyway it's going in effect to the USA) The
    larger form has 6 copies and you must list everything in the box. And
    no you can't just use generic terms, like "jewelers tools" I think
    this was a change after the 1st of the year. Check with your local
    Post Office, they may let it go, mine would not.
