International Package Brokers (Fedex) question
Hello Gerald I have just left you a voicemail at 610 xxx xxxx but wanted to also contact you via email. Asptuning of Calgary is shipping a package to you (see attached invoice) consisting of an Automotive Trim & Mounting Tape for this trim. Asptuning has indicated to me that you are paying for the Duty & Brokerage for this shipment. If you are a company, we can bill your company this fee, but we'd need your company IRS# (Federal Tax ID#). If you are an individual, we would need your credit card info, as well as your Social Security number (Credit Card info for the bill from FedEx to you for the Clearance, and your Social Security number for US Customs as they require it). Either way the total charges will be as follows : $17.00 for Brokerage, $9.00 for phone calls (we have made several, to the shipper as well as to you, but only charging for one) and the total Duty & MPF (merchandise processing fee) total $56.54. Duty for Auto Trim from Taiwan is $5.50, Duty for Tape is $0.04, Brokerage is $17.00, phone calls $9.00 but the biggest charge here is the U S Customs charge of Merchandise Processing Fee $25.00. This amount is payable to Customs, as well as the duty, FedEx Trade does not make any revenue from those charges. Gerald, please let Linda Gennamore know if you will accept this amount of Duty & Brokerage, and thank you. She is available at 716-879-1542. Best Regards Audrey Hibit Release & Classification Team LeadFedEx Trade Networks Transportation & Brokerage Peace Bridge Release Office Buffalo, NY 716-879-1530 ph 716-879-1569 fx [email protected]

my first reaction would to not give it to them, since it is a package going over the border, not you.
Don't packages get shipped CAN-US all the time without these charges/hassle? $9 for calling? Are they serious?

Like I said - I don't mind paying but, I saw the $9 charge too.
I called FedEx and double checked the number. I told them that I will give back with them tomorrow. I am going to get in touch with "our" company lawyer tomorrow and security to make sure that my SS# is necessary. She told me that the reason they needed my SS# is for the foam tape. I was like what? Can't you throw away the foam? The thing is Steve never told me about this Brokerage/Custom charges. That's what make it worst. So, I am in the fence...this stuff is not necessary for the BMW, just to make her look a little better. Should I just say f*** word it and take a chance? Or send it back to Steve and say no way especially with my SS# and credit on the line?

Why are you using this as a "sale"? You could have avoided this if you tell the brokers that its a used item and exchange between friends. Even now if your seller can fax a statement that it is that, you can avoid that.
