Please try to stay on topic. I realise because of the complexity of some of the posts members may veer off but in answer do not 'go there'.

For info and questions on US customs please post on the thread below: post https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/us-customs-discussion-airports-importing.905560/

For traveling with boxes https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...me-hermes-boxes-when-traveling.1044553/page-5



I will leave this reminder as a sticky because tthis is often a thread that new members (or new Hermès lovers) post on - hopefully temporarily.

I think C can also come in rghw but definitely not K. I got excited when I read your post

Sorry for that :doh: I marveled at the K35 first, then the B in the same leather colour and got confused with the hardware. The RGHW looks very close to the regular gold to me and I only noticed because I bought a clic H with YGHW and one witb RGHW recently.

I've chalked it up to being completely random whether or not you get a Health Pass.

I applied weeks ago, as did the rest of my family. One family member received their code within 20 mins and the rest, nothing at all. I leave tomorrow so I assume it will not be happening in time for the trip, for me.

Will make sure to report back on any H successes!

We head to Paris tomorrow and both applied for our health pass code a week ago and have heard nothing. I have no issue with getting tested upon arrival for a 72 hour QR code but we will be there for a month...definitely don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on tests every three days...I have better plans for my dollars ;)

My husband got his QR code in 2 days. But me, I have been waiting for 12. When I first started, it said 90% were approved within 9 days, now it says 90% are approved within 15 days. There is clearly no order in which they approve applications, since my husband and I applied within 10 minutes of each other. So frustrating!

Go to the pharmacie on 2 Blvd Filles du Calvaire and get your cdc card converted into a QR code there. I never got my QR code from the French govt despite applying ten days in advance nor did my sister. (It never came even after we got back to the US.) This takes 10 euros and is done in 10 min. Scan the QR code to TousAntiCovid and boom you have a normal pass sanitaire. Don’t stress with the online application - certain pharmacies can convert this for you.

Also, if you do want to get a rapid test, it’s 29 euros. It’s also valid for your return to the US. Something else to note - you usually have to go to the pharmacie to pay for the test, fill out your information and then take a slip of paper to a tent outside. It’s not done in the same location. Additionally, France is going to start charging french citizens in October for covid tests so not sure if they will raise the price on foreigners then as well.

so helpful! I know the Pass is required for restaurants and museums but does Hermes also require it to enter or would vaccine certificate suffice ?

The health pass was only checked upon entering restaurants for dining there. Cannot remember any retail store asking for it.

All the department stores I went into asked for it. They had special entrances too with “bouncers” that checked it. When I hadn’t yet gotten the QR code, Le Bon Marché did accept the CDC card and my passport.

Now that I think about it I think the (Etain?) K35 was yellow gold HW, there was a B30 in the same colour and that one looked RGHW. Sorry for the mix up. I'm not aware of only Bs having RGHW, can a more knowledgeable member chime in please?

I have a C24 in rghw. Got it from H George V :smile:

Thank you for clarifying. We only went to brand boutiques this time. No department stores. So good to know. :flowers:
