Tariff Barriers in Practice

Apologies for the late start today, that normallly shouldn’t be a problem for someone six hours ahead of New York. But you’ve never really understood what tariff barriers are until you’ve stood in a German customs office for five hours trying to retrieve a parcel you mailed to yourself so that you didn’t need to worry about British Airways losing it. I now have renewed respect for anybody in the import/export industry. And, if you’re thinking about mailing a parcel to Germany, don’t. I promise you the recipient won’t appreciate the gesture.
