Customs bill for CJ shirt :P
 

Fucking government . Tax and duty on the shirt you guys sent me .
Just got a bill for $15.99 :P

I didnt know what it was at first and thought that CJ was sending the bill for the shirts .

but then the fedex guy was nice enough to explain to me that the government even has a hand free gifts no adays :P

fuckers .

wow, that blows.

thats more than the shirt costs to make.

i agree

What currency is that in? CDN? Seems a very high amount for tax and customs, when the shirt is probably worth what, $25-30?

The shirts value was marked as $30 USD ,
so I got taxed 15.99 CND for it .

I probally couldve bought the same shirt in the local rock tshirt shop for less LOL ..

leave it to the government to ruin someones good deed .

Thanks Consumption Junction , I do appreciate the shirt :)

wow that sucks, you have to pay the exact same price for what the t shirt would have cost if it wasnt free, in postage fees.

Screw that

It really sucked I got a bill for my shirt, but I didn't get the shirt.. for some reason it got sent back! Maybe they can hit me up and I can figure out with them what went wrong.. Fortunately Fedex reversed the charges, but getting the bill was the only way I knew it was even sent! LOl


CJ rocks though!

Declare it as a gift or sample merchandise so you dont get hit with it.

Tips from Juicyyyyyyyyyy

Always nice to get some free shit!

It costs as much as the fucking shirt... That's sad . I got like 150 $ to pay them right now I think

that is not just tax and duty , probably there is a brokerage fee involved:2 cents:

Wow, a 15.99 t-shirt tax? That's dumb as tits on toast. I should look into opening an international t-shirt smuggling ring. Maybe pay impressionable young kids with nothing to lose to wear them over the border.

On the bright side, you wear the shirt well. Enjoy it, and sorry for the hassle.

It wasn't marked as gift?

Cheers,
Matt

that sucks man, I got mine 2 weeks ago but I didn't have to pay anything.

30 bucks for a tshirt? Gimme a break, rock shirts are printed for like 3-6 bucks here in LA

you can get shirts printed 4 color design in LA for like 5 bucks a piece.

not knocking the shirt at all, i just dont see how they can just charge you what they want, and it costs more than the shirt does.

weak.

fuck customs.

thats really fucked up, in australia i dont think we get charged on anything under $1k

be a good person!!

it's random too, most tshirts and gifts come right through the border without a problem. I even had electronics shipped here and got in no problem. And one time I got charged for a tshirt or a bottle of greygoose. It's all random and depends on the customs agent.

how do they tax for a gift? Was it not marked as a gift?

yep, they must "profile" the packages

so much for NAFTA and free trade... what ever happened to that?

Duty? Were the shirts going across the border?

Depends who's minding the store I guess. A friend bought a laptop DVD Drive from the US today, no duty, but $22 in postage.
