Subject: Gift Books from China

Hi all -

My university is partnering with a college in China and the university's 
primary contact in China wants to send us 300 books as a gift.  The 
partnership is new and I don't have any other information about 
this situation.  

Our contact in China has a question about what needs to be done in 
terms of customs requirements and if there are any fees, taxes, etc., 
that must be paid.   I have no experience with this, but perhaps 
someone on the list does.  

Or is this question something that should be referred to the 
university's lawyer?

Thanks.
