Yep. Customs can be a nightmare sure enough. The last kilt I ordered from Scotland arrived with a bill for nearly $100 that I hadn't anticipated. But what really frosts me is that the tariffs were for the protection of the domestic textile industry which has been dead and gone for years. Besides, how many U.S. mills ever produced, or wanted to produce, tartan? No, gentlemen, it is just another wallet grab.
Some time I'll tell the tale of the automobile I inherited from my father who lived in Montreal. But for now suffice it to say that I had to get my Congressman involved to force Customs to get real.
