I was not talking about borrowing anything.I was talking about shipping
things to Canada.Once you are payed and have the money in your account any
charges will be the responsibility or the purchaser,such as tax and duty.If
they don't want to pay it then they don't get the package and you are not
expected to pay it,its the buyers porblem.Once I ship something its out of
my hands.I don't sell garbage or broken items,if they show up that way then
its the fault of the shipper and I am not responsible.

Its very simple.

I don't see what the big deal is shipping out of the USA. You guys
seem to think its a big process. Its not,you just write on the paper
what it is and how much it costs and sign and date it and you are done.

Hmmm, if it's so simple, would you care to explain why I was charged $420
duty for returning a pair of borrowed microphones to Schoeps a few years
back? It was a non-commercial shipment which I properly labeled as such.
Federal Express authorized the payment on my behalf (without such power
they will not accept a shipment) and they were then unwilling or unable
to appeal it, so I was left paying that amount.

Import duty is decided by the officials on the receiving end of a
shipment.
My disagreement was with the Federal Republic of Germany, with whom I
don't
have very much influence. Could you help me, perhaps?
