[gugmasters] Issues for goodies

[Emily Chen <emilychen522 gmail com>]

Hi all, 

Recently there are some parties  inform us there are below issues: 

1. DHL or FEDEX ask for tax ( usually ask for 80 - 100 USD  tax) for their packages. For this situation, please try to explain and negotiate with them. 
Those are 
promotional/advertising materials from a GNOME Foundation which is a 
non-profit 
organization given to you. GNOME is not selling anything. Those
 goodies have no commercial value and shouldn't be taxable.  It sometimes takes a bit of 
time and patience, but usually they do understand and let the stuff go 
through.

2.DHL or FEDEX ask for Health Permission for balloons .We don't have such document. In this case, the worst thing is have a party without Balloons. 

3. (ALL)  Please update your status whether you received the package or not from Google doc .

Thanks, 
-Emily
