In sum, Nigerian Customs has decided to arbitrarily treat our paper product as "contraband" and auction it for sale.  The product, paper pre-printed forms that are used by telecom companies in Nigeria, has been previously imported into Nigeria without customs issues.  Since this spring, Customs has held, stopped or seized three of our shipments.  The customer would add PIN numbers to the forms in country and some other information and transform them into phone vouchers.   Our customer delivery has been impacted and we would like to resolve this issue as soon as possible, as well as address a long-term resolution.   Do you provide this type of market access support and if so, can you give us a ballpark cost for this project?  We are happy to present your capabilities to the business unit owner, in parallel or separately from our other discussions.

One of them is known as Project Accesso - a self service platform for immigration documents (opening door to all government forms and e-government services).  Our partner in this effort is ClearPath, a two-year-old start-up, that is simply put the "turbo tax" of customs and immigration forms.  Their CEO is Michael Petrucelli, former Director of DHS CIS.  We would love to introduce you to Michael so that you can understand our entry strategy into e-government services.  In addition, your VC side may be interested in this as well.
