Message	I can recommend you a few things. Always ask for a signature when your package gets in because they must provide you the customs invoice right away. Also, make sure the shipper will clearly write "Made in the USA" on the table of content. Ask the seller to write his real name instead of the name of his Shop.... ... but I must agree with you George, the Free Trade Agreement between our both Governments really sucks!!! I send packages in the US almost everyday and I never heard of an Customs invoice and/or any complaint from a customer.
