Message	I was charged $131 "customs duties", but no sign of a separate brokerage fee. I think I was overcharged for duty because the country of origin is listed as Japan, when in fact the tires are made in the USA, and they make up 1/3 of the total cost. I don't think we're required to pay duty on products manufactured in the US. I'll be calling FedEx about that. The other frustration is that taxes (both PST and GST) were calculated on the Canadian Dollar Value AFTER the duty was added! So we pay PST and GST on the duty! Amazing. So the grand total was approx $2400.
