I agree, use the cheapest shipping method and be patient. In fact, I’m still getting about 1 order out of 3 coming through without duty. Finding by keeping the order small seems to increase the chances of it coming duty free…
That’s what I find when travelling down to the States from Canada. Never had a problem with 200 gr being claimed by myself and the wife claiming 200 gr. Caveat, that’s after minimum 48 hours in the States….
