I have shipped to Canada quite a few times. The only real problem I encountered was the receiver having to pay additional amounts to receive the package. A couple of them let me know how much extra it cost them when I noted the full "normal" value of an auction item that was won at an unusually low price. After that, I simply make sure to note to the buyer that shipping costs cover my expenses only, and I also declare only the exact item cost. The USPS shipping documents I fill out ask the same basic questions as the discussed Canadian paperwork. Surely, not a big deal, as the moment taken to fill out this form is worth the opening of my market to worldwide prospects. I embrace my international fellow bicyclists!
The American Heritage Dictionary gives one definition only for the following questioned word: _ boner (bo'ner) n. Slang. A blunder.
