Hundreds and hundreds of transaction, never an issue. However, a coworker got a rep PAM Reassessed by Customs with a value of $7000 and the taxes that came along with it.
Many Canadians here ?

That's horrible. Was it sent via Canada Post?Originally Posted by blueradish
I'm not surprised. I have a long history of bad experiences with Canada customs. They can levy taxes based on what they think you should have paid even if you have a receipt.
Of course they can or everyone would buy high dollar value items and just get the seller to provide a low dollar value receipt. They caught on to that many years ago.
That being said, I have a few transactions and as long as the declared value and contents are reasonable they often don't check. I will even ask that the value is above the "no tax"amount just so they don't get suspicious. Haven't had any issues so far with watches, even when they have been declared as "watch" rather than parts or for repair.
