Just got another email from another supplier:


Hey John,


Sorry to inform you but Tonga has been shut the last few days. I don't know when Tonga will be open. I am sure you heard by now that Walt Smith has said that he layed off 80% of his tonga work force. Lets hope that the Tonga gets it worked out. That would be a huge dissappointment if he went under. By the way Tonga was not the only place that the US put a ban on shipments from. It seems that it also included these countries:

Afghanistan, Andorra, Angola, Armenia, Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cape Verde, Cook Islands, Eritrea, Haiti, Holy See, Kiribati, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Montenegro, Nauru, Niue, Oman, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Turkmenistan and Tuvalu.

Sorry, but I will let you know when everything is back on track.
