Do you know what you are talking about!
I buy and sell to and from the US every day; the custom fee can be
exorbitant. (Free trade my ass) and can be les than $5 some days.
The way it works, legally!!! (Both way!!! Mr. Terry):
Under $200 CAD, custom fee of $8 USD + applicable state taxes (if so,
most of the time = none)
Over $200 CAD, Custom fee of about (depend on gas fee) $20 USD +
applicable state taxes (if so, most of the time = yes)
The way to go is small package under $50, they don't bother.
The best way to go is by normal post, they don't check as much as UPS or
Fedex.

days, I will kick their ass)
Your $40 sound to me like a $24 CAD = $40 USD Don't make me laugh, we
buy a lot more in the USA than you guys do, and we don't argue at all,
we live with that... do the same. This is not a horror story.
