Canadians Dealing with CBSA and the tariff tax they imposed on sideshow.

[HeavyMetalSpike]

The nice fella over on Freaks just posted this . . .

. . . The classification code is 9503.00.90.59. for SSC Hulk/Wolverine 1/5 No custom duty, just paid taxes.

And a reminder that the other codes that work can be found on page 3 of THIS thread.

Yes we have the same issues buying xm. It's very rough on the shipping a any other fees involved. Hope they will find a better way in the near future.

How do we go about actually getting this changed? Contact SS? or FedEx?

[HeavyMetalSpike]

I'll be trying BOTH - but as mentioned before - the only thing I have on order isn't due to ship until Nov 2017.

Regardless - it's blimmin' annoying we'll have to jump through hoops individually and repeatedly to try to adjust something that Sideshow (or the CRA) should have been able to sort out themselves - ONCE.

I tried sideshow. They couldn't do much for me, unfortunately.
Their Customer Service was top notch though, I ended up cancelling one of my orders and will get it from one of the Canadian distributors.

New question to ask myself.. do I need the Exclusive? A lot of the time, the answer is no.

That could save $300+ per statue.

I'll try FedEx next about this invoice.

It is brutal that this whole deal is a result of Sideshow not properly coding the items for export and that they refuse to fix the issue so that their customers don't have to go through this ridiculous dance.

[HeavyMetalSpike]

Yeah - frustrating to say the least.

I feel REALLY bad for those folks that buy lots from Sideshow.

u guys think u have it bad,, from this month , Indian customs have increased the duty from 14% to 42%
i think its time to say goodbye to statue collecting for me

[HeavyMetalSpike]

FORTY-TWO percent - geez dude - that's CRAZY !

(* although we had a dress shipped from China 2 weeks back and THAT came in at 12% regular tax + 18% "clothing tax" - all apparently legit - we were NOT impressed! *)
