Subject: Re: AW: Greetings from Maldives |
| Dear Collin Hills, It is 100% Muslim country but, we have a trade law in which we maldivians can sell ALCHOHOL to foreigners BUT NOT to a maldivian, And the other question you have come up with is the payment procedure, I think you should not be afraid of not paying for any shipment as the government do not look in to the nature of goods but if there is a debt to be paid to ANYONE than I think it will be paid and , a foreign company can claim it through the government of Maldives as the law is there, Thanks and regards Bishar ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Colin Hills" <colinhills@gmail.com> To: wineforum@wein-plus.com Sent: Sat, 11 Mar 2006 23:54:01 +0100 Subject: [wineforum] Re: AW: Greetings from Maldives > Bernd, > good answer, I agree entirely!
