Sending off Dag Gear to the World

Try something less specific and more descriptive; Wooden box with glass tray. Using the word Daguerreotype invites further inquiry, and an internet search is the last thing you want a customs agent doing.

I agree with Jason – say what it is in the simplest terms possible. I avoid the use of the word daguerreotype and even the word photographic. For instance a mercury pot might be “metal pot on stand” or “metal pot with electric heater”…

Good call guys,

So far the package went through, though I didn’t like the delay. I had sent in the descriptions as advised to the courier company for them as a supplement to the customs, simple description for layman works apparently.

I appreciate the advise on this. Many thanks!
