[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2913794, member: 19250"]Exactly you can double talk all you like spliting hairs of what you believe the law to be. Ask a U.S.Customs Service Agent....and you will be told the importing of any contraband item under U.S.Law is illegal. Just one reason Ebay won't allow any Cuban items sold either pre or post embargo. They aren't going to run the risk of being tied up in a Federal law suit. That goes for any other nation considered an outlaw nation. Try and bring back turtle shell items from the Caymans, try getting off a cruise ship in Florida with a piece of fruit from any Caribbean island. When a cruise ship enters a port it is surrounded by U.S. Customs. Until it clears customs. Example a ship leaves SanJuan PR. Sails throughout the Caribbean enters St Thomas USVI the ship is subject to a customs search.....it leaves St Thomas USVI Sails 90 miles over to San Juan and again all on board are subject to clearing customs.
