Customs rifled through my carts
In what I think was a 1st today as far as I can remember, I got a
package of 8Ts from the U.K. that was stamped so as to let me know that U.S. Customs had opened it to check on "tariff compliance." Man, nothing would thrill me more than for some Limey sucker to lable my carts as a "Gift" only to leave a print-out receipt inside. |

customs can be f-ing nasty, recently I bought an SET Zen stereo tube
amp from a guy in Canada for $300 "delivered" price, including shipping. Much to my surprise, I got a CUSTOMS BILL from UPS for the item crossing the border into Montana, for another $45. When I called UPS and objected and told them I wasn't paying, they said hey no problem, we'll just hammer your credit report. ****ed me off...the seller checked a box saying I would pay the duty. I got the seller to refund the $45 tariff luckily... He had declared the amp at true value $300. That's a nearly 17 percent tariff on that item, holy crap... |

The newest U.S. customs forms now have "Other" as an option, so you
don't have to check "Gift" anymore. (The Poodlebutt) wrote in message . com...
