Standard Canada Lost, er, I mean Post.
I think this was just a fluke. I've gotten plenty of things from Canada
without customs duty, and got things the other direction without customs
(but with PST) when I lived in Canada. Someone made a mistake. It's just a
pain in the *ss to have to pay the fee, write the letter, wait for the
refund, etc. -- and the USPS won't refund their usarious slice of the pie
under any circumstances.
