Oh yeah, I'd believe it, the CRA don't give up a nickel without fighting them tooth and nail. I HATE paying the brokerage charges and fees that UPS and FEDEX charge, pure financial rape in my mind, I used to handle all of the shipments bound for the U.S. from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and NW Ontario for Purolator courier in the early 80's. I also have done my own brokering and customs clearing, it really is simple, a bit time consuming, but well worth the savings IMO.
