Maybe it's just us Albertans - the feds don't like that we don't have
a provincial sales tax. :-) Seriously, I suspect it's because Kevin's
stuff is below Cdn$50 in value and is coming from a private individual
who is correctly taking the extra ten seconds to fill out that little
green customs tag as contents being a gift of LEGO. Over $40 or $50
declared value, and we get nailed. If it's a business shipment (instead
of personal/gift which is what we're doing) from LEGO S@H, then the
small $value gift exemption doesn't work. James is either getting some
good sized persontoperson shipments, or is calling S@H too much. :-)
As for the US govt. types not charging on LEGO heading south, I would
want some more confirmation on that - it doesn't seem likely.
