We declared everything we = brought out of the country and have receipts from the same agent who = finalized our exportation papers. The big problem is the same letter is asking us to cooperate and provide = names of other purchasers of meteorites in Morocco to avoid further = complications, we have done nothing wrong. We are wondering if any = other dealers have received a similar letter?
