UPS brokerage fees. Was: Dazed and confused in the north

[Dirk de Boer <deboer@duke.usask.ca>]

When you are in Canada and order from a U.S. company tell them that you want
it shipped through the U.S. Postal Service. UPS will charge you GST and $40
or 45 in brokerage fees. Canada Post will charge you GST and a $5 handling
charge only. If your car is older than a certain number of years you qualify
for an exemption on the duty. My 1966 MGB qualifies but I don't remember
what the cutoff is.
