That seems a bit overboard, and maybe not the government but the agent.

That is pretty much the gist of my question, as of yet unanswered by the Fed Ex broker. I had a look at the United States Surtax Order (2025-1) he cited, hoping to learn what is subject to the tariff and what is not, but came away no wiser. At the present time I do not know if all eBay items, Amazon purchases, AH winnings etc will be accompanied by another fat hand in my wallet.
I requested that he forward my cards to a friend in the States who can hold onto them until the trade war is over. "Smuggling" is not an option at this point. I am up to my eyeballs in pilikia already. Don't need any more grief.
Speaking of the Stanley Cup, there's a bit of hoopla right now in Victoria BC where I live. On March 30, 1925 the Victoria Cougars beat the Montreal Canadiens in a best-of-five series at Patrick Arena which stood less than a mile from our house. The Cup will be brought back this weekend and various festivities are planned. Looking forward to seeing the hardware.
