On the subject of the Large Format Chinese film presently available on
ebay, not only do I share John Boy's interest in this film, I'm
curious to know what sort of import duty a US resident would be
reguired to pay, if any.

No duty.

Congress is looking at duties as we speak. And rightly so...

They're simply beating us at our own game. (Of course, having little in
the way of environmental regs to get in the way of unmitigated greed and
profits doesn't hurt them either.)

They are beating us because they have no stockholders to account to. China
is a Demand Economy. They can set up a long-term winning strategy that
includes losses for a few years in order to own the world market. In the USA
we have the greed and need of stockholders with no interest in a future, or
the product - they live quarter-to-quarter.

Another of the advantages of this film is that it supports the Communist's
in power in China.

Do you ever shop at Walmart? I'd say the average American consumer
lacks the intestinal fortitude to buy only American made products.


Also, it will help to destroy the film industrys in the
US and other countries that allow Christians to freely practice their faith.

Christians have been practicing their faith under those conditions for
thousands of years, just say that type of situation keeps them honest-
unlike many here.

Also, this will help Red China to become the super power it desires to
become and someday dictate to the US conditions that we will have to obey to
turn free China (Tiawan) over to them.

Got news for you-your government has sold out to communists and every
other special interest for the last 25-30 years, there are a lot of
state governments that have funded construction projects by selling bonds
to foreign interests......pray for your own sake if no one else's they
don't decide to collect anytime soon.

Right on! And if you want a HUGE laugh, walk into any flagwaving "proud
American" Harley-Davidson stealship and look at all the aftermarket stuff.
It's all made in Asia, Mexico, India, Pakistan... and Japan. As are the
motorcycle electrics, wheels, tires....

Hi,

Well, I'll be buying Chinese or Hungarian because Kodak, the only US
maker of film, is cutting back. The only thing Kodak cares about is the
stockholders and quarter year bottom line. The consumer is incidental
to them. What they don't realize is the the consumer is what keeps them
company going. And what do the Communists in China have to do anything?

Try buying a US made TV set. Impossible because the US doesn't make
them anymore. And what other countless other products are no longer
made in the US. The main industry in the US is now the "service
industry".

And why is that; maybe because they are cheaper in price. Price can be
a great motivator when it comes to buying.

I wasn't going to comment but you guys are right. Kodak and all the rest
are only interested in the profits. The good Chinese however are concerned
about the poor American photographer and his problems getting film.
Ofcourse when China makes all film, they might not be so cheap and might
start to care about China's profits. Then there will only be one place to
buy film, that being China. The American people don't know that some of our
hiways, toll roads and such are being sold off to pay back the money we are
borrowing from China. We are selling America. Ric in Wisconsin.

Yup...no argument there. Tell you what, as long as I spend *my* hard earned
money on things, I make the decisions on where I buy. But listen, Ric, if
you really want me to buy Kodak so much - then please let me allow you to
put your money where your mouth is by giving me your money to make that
purchase you want me to make. Then everyone will be happy - I will get
film, chemicals, and paper every bit as good as what Freestyle sells, Kodak
will have added sales otherwise lost, and you will have assured that I
purchase US goods.

An aside - for a long time, Kodak film made offshore that was imported by US
businesses and sold here for less - even after transportation charges, any
custom fees, and third party charges - than the Kodak film made in the US.
Called the 'gray' market, I never found these products over the years to be
any different from the US made film. Here's one current example from B&H:

US manufactured 35mm TMax 100, 36 exp - $4.99 /roll
http://tinyurl.com/2wve2n

Off shore manufactured 35mm TMax 100, 36 exp - $3.99 /roll
http://tinyurl.com/2pjt4p

Now *that* consumer cost differential is worth pondering....
