[Mg-mmm] custom duty on vintage car parts

[SANDY SANDERS]

I have had the sad experience on shipping via UPS from Florida to Canada. UPS
charges a customs fee or brokerage that is nothing but extortion..

  Hi Dan
  For some reason when I have used UPS or FedEx Air we end up with paying duty
here and items sent to the UK. With the post office we have not payed as offer
on items shipped or received. I'm not sure why this is.

  Happy New Year to all !!
  I have a quick question... Every once in a while when receiving car parts
from
  the UK I get a tariff(customs) bill for the shipper.  It's always with UPS
  never any other shipping service.  I was under the impression that antique
and
  vintage car parts were not subject duty.  I usually just pay it but as a
  matter of principal, is this correct.  If not, can I get  a link to prove
to
  them that they are incorrect.
  Thanks,
  Dan
