Décolleté

Getting imports through US Customs has become a joy under the current administration.  Still, I was willing to dare, seeing as my favorite Italian shoe company promised that all tariffs and duties would be taken care of.  Anyway, how biased against the home of Berlusconi could we actually be?

But then, I received a call from FedEx claiming that portions of my invoice needed to be translated into English.  I opened the file, only to see one word that stood out:  décolleté.

First of all, décolleté is used in English, but, more importantly, one would think that The Donald had fast tracked any import with such an association.  Alas, I begrudgingly resubmitted the form, this time reading "low cut."
