"It is intended that the entire Shop at Home experience will be available in

Paraphrased by Lar for dramatic effect: "One of the big holdups is your
government who requires BOTH electronic AND paper import documents for the
same import shipment. Complain to them."

The last time I checked, we had a very large balance of payments deficit...
clearly, lots of companies - including a large Danish manufacturer of ABS
bricks - are already managing to cope with our import requirements.

Blame the government? Of all the things that the government may be blamed
for, I think this one tends toward the irrelevant.

I suspect they're just a long way down the list of excuses.
