Re: Going to Italy and buying parts

[MMosko@domain.elided]

Go see AFRA in Milan. For their address and website email Ornella Croce at 
afra@domain.elided. They have the biggest stock of Alfa parts (back to the 1920's) 
in the world. They also have a delightful collection of over a dozen vintage 
restored Alfas they like to show. Customs will charge you 10% over $800 worth 
of purchases of anything. AFRAs prices for the most part are lower than 
stateside so you should still make out well. I've bought over $15,000 from 
AFRA in the past year and totally satisfied. They'll ship for you to and tell 
you what it will cost. They take credit cards.

<< I'm going to be in Italy for 10 days in the near future.
 
 Does anyone have any recent experience trying to get parts out of Italy
 and back to the US through customs?  I might have some space in my
 luggage for some key peices, but I'm wondering what kind of hassles I
 might run into. >>
