canada customs

Since we're bashing Customs. Encountered my first real "Knob" @ the US border crossing. I'm not a dealer, the parts I purchase are for PERSONAL use. I buy a fair amount of product from Summit, Eastwood, FABBO and FBBO members, Moparts and a small amount from E-bay. Have crossed many times to pickup @ a depot I use just over the border. Last trip Johnny Border Guard decides I'm buying parts, for cars I'm selling occasionally, charges me $10.75 US because I'm entering the US and doing business. First time ever, I've been charged. With a tough guy attitude, he tells me I've been lucky to this point, now he knows who I am, I'll be charged. Total descretion call. I don't mind policy, or rules, but how about consistency. Charge or don't. Seems he's the a..hole Border Cop. Most others seem quite reasonable. Appears there is always one Dink to make things tough for us. Have heard stories, he also wants to charge Canadians going over and buying fuel $10.75. Maybe it's time to start searching harder for better deals in Canada. Truly unfortunate for the Americans, that this Customs Agent can be the first contact many have when entering the US. I like American citizens, I feel they're alot like us, especially those in the Northern states. But this goof, @ the crossing, is not indicative of the US nation. Wanna know how to build an idiot, check this dudes personnel file, you'll find a blueprint!
Ok, I'm done.
