    1. O.k My lovely baby was sent out by EMS Last Saturday, here is the info:

      10:53 05-Mar-2009 Departure from inward office of exchange CAYVRA


      This is the info on Canada Post (I hate them):

      2009/03/05 10:53 VANCOUVER, BC Item was released by Customs and is now with Canada Post for processing 2009/03/03 15:39 VANCOUVER, BC International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs 2009/02/28
      16:06
      International item has left the origin country and is en route to Canada 2009/02/28 12:25
      International item mailed in origin country


      So my question is, how would I know i'm getting charged on customs, and how much longer will it take to get here (is dieing from waiting xD)

      Sorry if this is in the wrong forum ^^"

    2. I don't think there's a way to tell until you pick it up. :/
      I didn't have to pay any customs fees on my dollie tho

    3. x'D I understand some countries have a post of 'charging' or something like that, we don't get any notification till the doll arrives?

    4. As a general rule, "Item will be reviewed by customs" doesn't exactly mean you'll get hit with custom fees, but 99.9% of he time, if they bother to look, they also bother to charge you taxes on the declared price plus the handling fee. It never fails for me, anyways... Sorry :(

    5. I haven't been charged yet (not even on my 63cm Lati Red) but I've always seen a message much like yours. Most doll companies deliberately mark the declaration in order to come under the limit for Canada Customs.

    7. I read somewhere that dolls are one of the things that don't get taxed by customs in Canada...
