I ordered 178grams of tobacco from Smokingpipes and got hit with taxes today. I was under the impression 200grams and under was tax and duty free?
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”This is so upsetting. Infuriating, more precisely. What's happened to us as a humanity?
For pipe tobacco it's based on the weight in grams. ::Bad luck; sorry. What was the tariff? Based on dollar amount or weight of tobacco?
Which shipping option did you chose?from Smokingpipes
I owe $87
The one time I claimed tobacco at the border they brought me inside to pay duty/taxes on two tins. After at least half an hour trying to figure it out they charged me $24, then proceeded to go all through my truck looking for more tobacco, or illegal aliens/terrorists.sometimes the customs folks get bored and are looking to have a little fun
Your Border Patrol doesn't seem to like it but we are allowed across. A business owner in Houlton Maine told me that it would be a ghost town if it wasn't for us Canadians coming over to shop but they treat you like an invasion of illegal immigrants or terrorists trying to sneak in.Do we allow Canadians in the US for 48 hours?
We have a border patrol? That must just be on the north side.Your Border Patrol doesn't seem to like it but we are allowed across.
