In Reply to: 2nd-hand clothing Forbidden Now ?? posted by karrie on Saturday, 9. April 2005 at 16:25 Bali Time:
There was an item on the news the other day showing 2 containers of donated mixed goods Aceh-bound, and the whole lot was grounded because the customs declarations mentioned some boxes of 2nd hand clothes were included and they had to be taken out . The item mentioned a very recent law change in Indonesia which banned any entry of used clothing , even donated /free goods which these were .. I didn't see whether these goods were on the wharf in NZ or Indonesia, but the containers were being emptied and all the clothing taken out so the rest could get through
These were bound for Aceh, would Bali be subject to same law ? Same country , prob so, but maybe it wouldn't be enforced ? not sure where to find out, like Jenny Rae I need to know also whether I can take my huge load in Nov, word has spread amongst friends and stuff is accumulating almost faster than I can pack it
