Thats OK, I'm fighting with PBB over them charging me 39% duty+GST on my lego!...I got a car from Scott A. (no problem with the car) and now I have the coustoms paperwork following it, and PBB want $45 for Duty fees...like SNOT are they getting it. The code for lego is 95.03.20 (toys:models, non working, plastic), and for Canada it is mostly (MFN and so on) duty free. So...the moral of the story is to ask your shipper to indicate what it is, and probably to include that number (it is a international tarrif #) James
