The TSA also has a new trick

as some of you know i ship kangaroo skins to the US for burns victims of IED blasts roo skins are way better than sheep skins for this but to tan without chemicals is a by hand job so a tad slow and so i do it myself

Now i comply to the 11 different regulations and have the pelts inspected and pay for that , but now i have to pay TSA $9 AUD per skin for them to inspect , i'm told this also offsets the cost of the new security arrangements

so besides all the freight shipping inspection repackaging and transfer fee's the new tax take a roo skin cost to $80 to get to the USA , this does not include my cost ( ammo , the mixes i use tanning solution nuthing )

i am giving these away i do not profit nor do the receivers

does anyone know if i can be exempted ? as this is a lot of money to lose every month or so and i will have to stop supplying them if it gets worse
