As I said, that would be the only source of any recourse.

However, it can be argued, and will be by the shipper and his
carrier, that one entering into an international transaction may be
expected to be, and presumed to be, informed of the process and
procedure, and any procedural fees involved in shipping across the
border. Ignorance being no excuse. Especially in foreign courts.

Since the broker's participation is arranged by the shipper and
his carrier. The broker is contracted to them. Not the recipient. He
has no obligation to the recipient.

Nor does the recipient have any obligations to the nroker.

And as these are established
procedures with attendant fees also established, the broker has no
expectation that the fees will not be paid, again, reasonably
presuming an informed international buyer.

In this case, what is courteous and what is, are two different
things, especially in light of cultural differences between nations
of buyer and seller.

There are no cultural differences between Canada and the U.S. that affect
importation.

In any case, these are *importation* duties imposed by the *U.S.", not by
Canada.



To reiterate my original point, once established procedural fees
are assessed, his chances of recovery after the fact are slim.
Especially, since they are codified in regulation, if not, law.

Perhaps we're both a wee bit sensitive here. No intent to put words in
anyone's mouth. Sorry if it rang that way. But no-one around here uses the
the word "one" like you suggest. "You" in the manner I used it is
understood where I live as an inclusive (like 'us' and problem). I could
have said "buddy" but that's probably not usual for most on this board and
suggests slight positive regard which I didn't feel about this. If this is
a problem I'll use "a person" instead next time.

No, I haven't. Don't watch much TV. What's this about?

Cosby has been hitting home with his message on morality and personal
responsibility, so the liberals are setting him up with all sorts of
vile bimbos saying he did immoral things with/to/on them, in order to
silence him.
