I had to send my basset horn into Canada for repairs. Now keep in mind
that it was imported FROM Canada in the first place, and I had a
document to prove that it had been imported only about 45 days earlier,
and further that it was going back to Canada for warranty repairs.

Nothing mattered. I got a call from Canadian customs and they wanted to
slap a $25 import fee on me. I protested, filled out some forms,
answered some questions, and the import fee into Canada was cancelled.

But when it came back into the US from Canada, I got hit with an import
duty that I was obliged to pay. Complaints to the US Customs were ignored.
