[QUOTE="jokerofdeath, post: 134586, member: 7001"] [b]Re: Discuss[/b] And therein lies the issue that so many in Canada do not seem to understand. You have to be at the port of import [B]IN THE FLESH. [/B]Where the port is in respect to the physical border is irrelevant. All of the bonded carriers have bonded warehouses that can be several hours from the border. The goods stay in the bonded WH until the proper requirements of the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) are met. Unless someone is not giving you the right information, the information and the requirements of clearing of a package into Canada are laid out by the government of Canada. Not by any private business. If you cannot be there in the flesh, then you need a representative broker that has the ability to be in contact with the package or at the least, has the ability to get at the invoice off of the package. And Customs agents DO NOT do this work. The VAST majority of brokerage companies that exist purely to broker, do not typically do personal shipments and if they did, their fees are 3 - 4 times that of what UPS or FedEx charges. Something that has not been posted in this thread yet is the fact that the same loonies that are trying to sue UPS are now trying to sue FedEx for the same reasons. [/QUOTE]
