Are these cleared by quarantine to get into the country?

Are these cleared by quarantine to get into the country?

I've been shipping to AU going on 3-4 weeks now. No issues.
Their not insect or larvae, their the same species that already exist
outside Melbourne and distributed through Australia. Just a lot less $$

What are they declared as on the customs declaration?

[dan4cbw]

What are they declared as on the customs declaration?

Why?
How would it affect guaranteed arrival when it doesn't now.

[Nev]

Coz most fish foods (all) get stopped by quarantine unless they're approved by them.

And the person receiving them may be. charged with customs offences. Nothing wrong with legitimate imports which will bear appropriate declaration and have said certification.

BDA is not intending to be offensive I guess, just being. careful.

The delivery guarantee is not going to cover fines of several thousand $AUD which could ruin both your business and the hobbyists. Best advice to all is to operate within customs laws.

Cheers,

You did not answer the question. :)

[dan4cbw]

You did not answer the question.

Their declared as what they are " Lumbriculus Variegatus" in dry form.

I have semi lived in Melbourne and or commuted back and forth from Calif. for years.
Its we I have been for the last two weeks.

That is to be respected.
It is a world Market though thanks to the Internet.
AU Blackworms in the USA and USA Blackworms in AU.
Maybe we should both just pull out.

Not at all. Competition at retail level is both to be expected and healthy. It gives the customer a choice.

Sorry to cause you troubles Dan, but it may save you in the long run.

I was under the impression that all US merchants were obliged to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. I am fairly certain AOL does not have its email secured to the standard required for credit card transactions which could put you at risk of being personally liable for any fraudulent use + any fines they levy which are usuallly in the $millions.

For the protection of yourself and your customers I would strongly suggest you wear the small transactional cost and use a certified payments processor.

Cheers,
Scott

Scott, what does aol have to do with credit card payments which are not needed or wanted for Samples to be sent?

Dan

[BigDaddyAdo]

I think what Scott saying is that you are asking for credit card details to be sent to your email address which is not secure by any stretch of the imagination.

[swampy1972]

I certainly wouldn't do it.. PayPal as a minimum!!

[Ghoti]

I think what Scott saying is that you are asking for credit card details to be sent to your email address which is not secure by any stretch of the imagination.

Absolutely.

Assuming you are operating under your own Merchant Agreement you will see the Acquirer requires you to be Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ('PCI DSS') compliant.

The standard sets out 200+ control requirements for any system or process that stores a Card Number, with additional controls on the use and storage of the CCV. Given the expense of the controls almost NO email server complies.

Jothy risks potential card fraud (up to the credit limit) and maybe card cancellation. You risk fines of US$500,000 per month until the situation is rectified.

Its nothing to do with the free samples, its all about you as a merchant accepting credit card details via email. And one number is all it takes.

With credit card fraud now exceeding drug distribution for profitability the Card Schemes are doing all they can to secure transactions and crucify Merchants that put them at risk.

I have nothing against you or your business Dan, just trying to save you from a potential disaster.

Cheers,
Scott

[Merrilyn]

Dan didn't you say you can process payments via Paypal.

[dan4cbw]

Dan didn't you say you can process payments via Paypal.

PayPal for sure, to our ID of blkworm@aol.com.
I think he's confused as to how we accept payments. Why, I don't know. As I said AOL has nothing to do with the way we accept payments. No one that I know of emails their full card information now days.

Jothy sure didn't send it via email. I appricate the advice Scott but the Bank of America merchant account that I have is no less then twenty five years old with first phone and then internet sales going back fifteen plus years. thanks though.


Dan

[ILLUSN]

I think I need to clarify.
I tried entering my details via a secure connection. Unfortunately optus was having a bad day and the 3G connection wasn't playing nice. I was unable to finish my payment details.

At no stage did Dan ask for me to email my complete details only those that are incomplete.

Sorry for any confusion
