"Thanks
to the information in your book, I am accurately and correctly completing the required Lacey forms. The
declaration requirement for musical instruments is new and I was contacted by both UPS and FEDEX regarding those initial shipments.
I was pleased to discover that, thanks to the materials you provided, I was actually helping their representatives to better understand the
Act and the forms and the materials required! Couldn't have done that without your help! Thanks for a smooth transition to what could have been a very overwhelming new responsibility."
