as far as i was able to tell, the tariffs have NOT been abolished !!!
when i was looking to buy a double-cab vanagon pickup a few years back,
i found that i'd have to pay a TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT duty on the truck when
i brought it back across the border from canada. that's a u.s. tax. why?
cause it was a non-u.s. pickup truck!! :(

so the chicken-tax seems to be still in force, as far as i can tell. :(
