I cant find decent pants to work in here as far as jeans go.  Carhartts and Levi’s are a small fortune if you can even find them Thinking about having my Mother send me a package with some jeans. Will I have to pay customs for this and if so what do they base it on.
Thanks in advance.

You finally made it over, eh? What happened to the car and the personal gun collection?

Have your mom check with USPS on limits that are duty free. You can also check with CORREO. I know that any and all electronic items are taxed at duty rates, but unsure about jeans. I’m headed back in 2 months, so place your order!!!

Yes, I finally made it over. As far as the car and guns go, the car is sitting quietly ( I hope) in my sister’s garage and my guns are locked up in my antique coke machine at my Mother’s house. I did find a place that sells Carhartt in Madrid but thats a bit far and Im not going there any time soon.
I might be going over middle of this month for a week to take care of some Spanish Papers at the embassy in L.A. According to the Spanish Embassy there I have to complete my citizenship papers in L.A. I will make sure from here of course before I book my tickets.
As far as placing my orders….A truck load of good tools, another truck load of Jeans, Some good Thai food…..how much time do you have?????
