    It would probably be better not mention specific names, and
    locations. It sounds like this shipemnt might be being handled off
    manifest, and the customs agent may be performing an under the table
    favor, both actions are against Honduran law. There have been huge
    scandles, in Honduras, over just this kind of stuff. The parties
    involved may not want to be indentified, as they have been here.

    The cost to have this trucked, from Amarateca, should be minimul,
    your contact their should be able to arrange transport.
