Import Duties/Customs

Post by nobucho » Sun Jul 30, 2006 3:06 pm

Has anyone ever had to pay import duties/customs? I just ordered two Miyavi CDs from CDJapan and I heard that if you live in countries such as Canada, you need to pay them in order to receive your package. What do they do and how much do you need to pay in Canada? I searched everywhere and I need and answer. I think this is seriously f---ed up. Please answer. Thank you.
