Much like the first Hitachi service manuals we got in the 80's. Written by a jap that thought he spoke english. Not even close. Had lots of english (sort of) words in it but few recognizable sentences.

My friend received a remote flash for his camera yesterday from Japan....he saved $50 by buying it directly from Japan instead of from a canadian import.
Shipping from Japan $ 4.75 ..no duty...maybe because of a red sticker that says "Birthay gift"????
all his purcases from that company have the same sticker.....
But the instructions that come with it look like a google translation of Japaneese:lol:

If things are labeled as a gift, they are duty free. Of course, if one is a business and charging for stuff, they are legally not supposed to be marking everything as a gift. In theory they could get in trouble but that would require somebody from Immigration/Customs to stop body cavity searching 90 year old grandmothers and do something.

ran's Organization of the Holy Quran is scolding Iranian publishers who've outsourced production of the holy book to Chinese printers. Apparently, their copies of the Quran are riddled with typos, according to the Tehran Times.


"These tableaus are made quite cheaply in China but are sold for much more than they are really worth to make that much more profit," said an official with the organization who monitors and evaluates Qurans available in Iran.


The official even urged importers to halt future Quran shipments from China, the Times reported.
If you're keeping score at home, China is accused of shipping out seafood laden with putrefying bacteria, toys laden with lead, totally fake eggs and, now, tainted Qurans.
