My partner Fed-Ex's me Costa Rican coffee each month. Canadian Customs is nice enough to slit the bags open lengthwise, and then after pawing through them has the courtesty to slap an "inspected by customs" tape over the gash. I lose about half of the coffee shipment this way.
i've had nothing but trouble with Canadian customs for the past 3 years or so. totally red flagged, i'd never consider traveling with a laptop or anything these days.
