    I wonder about something I dont know.

    When I shipped Bulbs overseas, it was one line in customs....all the products were the same.

    I shipped a Plastic air ball protector with 3 standoffs to Germany, and received it back with customs
    issues, because I didnt make a line entry for the 3 metal standoffs, and of course, and code changes
    for Tariffs on the metal part if needed.

    Is it possible....I dont know....that an overseas order with this variety at retail needs each different product to
    have line entries in an export form, code, and what it does for duty and tariffs?
    Does this cost cover these duties?

    Just a thought, but even a one piece plastic to Canada is an extra 5 minutes of work i shipping.
    If I have a $50 an hour billable employee, I spend at least $2-$3 to cover this.
    I still receive email as to why I am asking $4.95 for Canada shipping.
    Weird, as if I use Ebay shipping, they want $11 ad change for shipping to Canada...Overcharging?
    or covering customs if there is a question?
