Shipping from Canada to U.S. eh?

Antique car parts have no duty or fees either way thanks to the free trade agreement. That being said, if you use a courier they will use a customs broker who will charge their own processing fees, and they are expensive. The only way to do it is by using Canada post and USPS. I am fairly certain however that you cannot mail an engine........

Dave sorry thats incorrect. I had a part mailed by a member here and he mistakenly put a $250 value on it.(should have been $25). Extra "fees" were charged at Canada Post. I filed a "claim" or whatever you call it and phoned Canada Customs. The lady I spoke to stated that "any part, new or used" is subject to "fees". She also stated that almost all parts/pieces valued at $20 or under get passed thru simply due to not enough manpower/time. Anything else above that, simply spin the wheel and hope you dont get hit with fees. Oh I did get a refund on the fees as I had a paypal reciept.

ps I mentioned "free trade agreement" to the lady from Canada Customs and it has no bearing no this.
