Had to complete one of these forms. It's only been a week & a half. I doubt I will hear anything back till Jan '24.
Fudge.. I remember you pointing that out a few weeks ago. So odd to randomly get charged on one order but not the other.
I’ve been ordering dozens of records per year for quite some time and as far as I can remember, the only times I got hit with import charges was when I ordered through acousticsounds who use FedEx

No problemo. I had to stop buying from Acoustic Sounds & Turn Table Lab cause they only ship via FedEx. I would always get hit with fees. What's sneaky about FedEx is they will deliver you package & not tell you that you got hit with customs fees. They are so happy when they drop off your package to your door. No fee / charges etc.. Then a week or two later you go to your mail box and there you see a letter from FedEx that you have to pay custom fees on that item.
yah I did on my Vs. I also got hit with customs on another random non-PJ vinyl a few weeks ago.
I think CBSA might be going through one of those times where they ramp up enforcement of the actual limit. With the limit being so slow ($40cdn), it only takes a $30usd record to be over the limit. With record prices having gone up, it's not hard to exceed the limit. Usually they let most packages under $100 slide, but it seems they're being a bit more strict right now.
Maybe there will be a silver lining of Trump gets elected again. when he forced the renegotiation of NAFTA a few years ago, the limit went from $20 to $40. It's still pretty one sided, I think the limit in the opposite direction is something like $800. Maybe he'll push for some more changes

Yeah they really need to relax over there at CBSA.
Are you Canadian peeps all getting charged customs?
I did for one of the copies. All the others I didn't get hit. Post Exprés screwed up and put down 2 vinyl on custom form.
Ya I noticed that on mine too. It claimed the value of the record to be over 120 USD which is wayyy more than I paid. No way I was turning away Canada post though when a PJ record comes to the door!

I just got hit on a PJ related vinyl coming from Walla Walla, USA. Looks like CBSA has gone loco and just hitting everything that is coming into Canada.
