Q Hello, I am looking at the Zassenhaus red lacquer pepper and salt mills and have two questions: 1) how much will you charge to shipping to zipcode 59802 in the U.S.? and, 2) is there a difference in the grinding mechanisms between the salt and pepper grinders? thank you!

A Thank you for your enquiry . Unfortunately we are unable to send any wooden salt or pepper mills to the United States at the moment due to the Lacey Act. I have attached a link below from another website explaining the Lacey Act:

Lacey Act Advice for Musicians

Although this details musical instruments, since 2009 this act has also applied to the sale of kitchenware and household products.

Are there any stainless steel or acrylic mills that appeal to you? If so we can certainly quote delivery for you.

You can see the stainless steel and acrylic mills at the links below:

Acrylic Salt and Pepper Mills

Finally, yes, the ceramic grinding mechanism in the Zassenhaus is exactly the same in both the salt and the pepper mill
