Imported French Products Questions.

[ConservativeMan55]

Does anyone know where to find a list of everything that is imported to the United States from France? I did a search on google, and couldn't find anything. I would like to have a list of everything imported from France.

[ConservativeMan55]

I found one thing. We could always start making a list.

Vivendi, a French multi national giant, owns US Filter, who owns/operates a great number of US water utilities. We should nationalize these utilities since France has allied itself with a terrorist state.

Carlson_Army

Carlson Wagonlit Government, the Army’s travel services provider, has already rolled out the online booking system to 11 Army locations and is rapidly expanding the deployment. With more than $500 million spent each year on travel, the Army expects half of all trips to be booked through the DirectGovernment online system after its first year of use.

Thanks for requesting more information about Arc International products that are imported from France.
Arc International produces products in many countries around the world. Village Kitchen sells items manufactured in the United States and that are imported from France. We label each item individually since some patterns are made in both countries. Usually you can also identify the origin by the item number. Numbers ending in D are made in the United States. Numbers ending in F are made in France. Numbers ending in B are exclusive to our importer and manufactured in France.

Glass products are a heavy industry and take months of lead time. (You guessed it, this is the disclaimer.)
Although we try and anticipate our quarterly sales and we get weekly truckloads directly from the manufacturer sometimes we run out. If we run out it might take up to three weeks to fill your order. If the manufacturers warehouse runs out usually they are able to get us more in two to 6 weeks. Sometimes despite everyone's best efforts delays can be much longer, especially since national security has increased on imported items.

We wish to thank you in advance for your patience and we will try and keep you informed by e-mail of the status of any orders that are delayed beyond 30 days.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Not surprising.

I can't find any personal hygiene products on the list.
