It's been a long time since I've bought anything from Canada so I thought I would test the waters what with these trade wars going on. I found a great looking hand grinder on an auction and thought why not? I was the lucky winner for $100.00 which was about $72.00 US money, not too bad I'm thinking. Then comes the 15% buyers premium, ok that's fair. Now I can't drive up there and get it so a small fee of $86.53 will cover the shipping and handing, ok. So it is now on it's way and I get an email from UPS wanting another $49.20 for Import Fees and another $7.20 for Brokerage Charges. Now my Cute little Grinder is up to $257.93 by the time it hits my door. Granted I'm sure this is all in Canadian funds so it should be about $186.56 US money, but wait.. I have not gotten my credit card bill yet and I'm sure they will chomp out some for exchange fees for the 4 times I withdrew money for payment. Oh well I now have a very nice grinder added to my collection, but I will have to really double think it over before I go and purchase a $100,000.00 tractor from Canada.

Well done Joe.  That's a loveley example of an MH grinder.  I have two but neither with that beautiful MH badging.  One came from Australia as if to demonstrate MH's world wide reach.

John,
Yes I am quit pleased with the looks of the grinder, I now have three of them in my collection. 

Still not pleased with about Trump's tariff battle. I recently purchased two brake calipers for my end loader from Brackley, Northamptonshire UK. The price came to $339.70 and the Tariff was $219.69, shipping was $102.78 and taxes were $32.63 for a grand total of $695.30 for two brake calipers. There is no itemization of anything so I don't konw if I paid the tariff on the original pirce of $339.70 or on the total price of $695.30? Seems to be no rime or reason to all of this and like your famous quote "Clear as mud"
