Hi all,
I have a question regarding taking auto parts to Honduras. I have an old 4x4
overthere that needs some parts. I was thinking about buying used parts here
and taking them with me on my next trip, I would be flying. I was not
allowed to bring a brand-new weed wacker on the plane from the US before,
because it smelled ever so slightly after gasoline, although there was not a
drop in it. I can imagine that used auto parts will at least have some
grease on it or if I clean them smell of cleaning alcohol. What are my
chances?
Thanks,
Sabine
