OT, but I recently purchased an RC airplane kit from overseas. Total package cost came to $160 USD. CBSA decided to assess the package value at $1,008.00 CAD. My duty fees and tax was twice what I actually paid for the package. Needless to say I'm still trying to get my money back.
I was talking to a CSBA rep on the phone and she couldn't even figure out how they might have arrived at this number. The process to fix it is "fill out this paper, send us all the supporting documentation so we can't promptly shred it and claim we never got it."
The funny thing is the lady at the post office was really helpful.. as in I got the distinct impression this is a very common occurance. She wasn't even surprised at the amount they over-valued it.
