His phone is setup to receive international calls.
All calls from the USA to Mario are charged as domestic calls.
If he doesn't answer, leave a message and he will call back.

Marco, the number provided is still in operation. I spoke with him yesterday.
Sometimes the phone is turned off, just leave him a message. He usually responds within 1 or 2 days.
Try the alternate contact method, by e-mailing Mario at: mariopunchard@yahoo.com

If you still fail to connect with Mario, I'll let him know that you've been trying to contact him.

Peace and Blessings..........

According to the US harmonized tarriff schedule, Drums (HT : 9206.00.2000) has a special CBERA (Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act) under the entry code of ' E ' and is EXEMPT from tax/duties.

However the export documentation must have annotation of the fact that the product is wholy born or made in Belize.

Good question. I think down there they have Honduran Rosewood ready available which I think is another hardwood used for drum making.
