Re: 8/30 Transcripts 7 pm

Hi John,


Okay, I got the HTS number for the books (cookbooks), but for the spices

does each one have its own? I am assuming yes.


Looking forward to your response.


Thanks!

Anita,

Yes, most likely... so the slow process of looking up each spice ensues..but
perhaps you can do two or three spices...a major one, a midling one, a rare
one...note the prices being paid by us importers..and then go to
www.thomasregister.com

You have to register a name and password at this site, but here's a tip: for
all these non-security sites, use the exact same name and password, so when
you come back once a year and they ask for one, it is the same one you use
everywhere, and then you wont forget it.

Anyway, I checked spices at www.nthomasregister.com and they have one organic
spice distributor names...and a whole bunch of companies who sell machinery
to spice processors.

A good way to find reliable suppliers in USA is to ask THEIR suppliers to
anmes of of good customers. So, ask a spice processing machine maker for the
name of his favorite spice processing machine customer. Get various names
and find a well-respected source.

But back to the search, compare the prices a US processor can give you vs
importing direct, and decide which has the best cost/benefit analysis result.

Let me know how it goes...

John
