This is Cambodia...

Yesterday arrived our luggage, with all our prototyping staff , from Delft. It weighs around 10Kg and it's full with casting material, Printed Circuit Boards, laminated plastic etc. It worths around €150 (+ another €50-100 shipping costs). Unfortunately, we are not going to have it! The customs expenses to import it will probably exceed the double price of its worth (around €300)!So, we are going to leave the luggage resting at the Cambodian airport...

This is a way for the Cambodian government to earn some money...but how much does it really earn, when it discourages imports and encumbers any international entrepreneurship?

This is Cambodia...

p.s The courier company DHL seems to have found a way to bypass all this bureaucracy...I wonder how... ;)

p.s 2 Team Lumen does not get discouraged by any bureaucratic nonsence, and developed the same day its first prototype!!!
