Like you Bill it amazes me people do not understand who pays the tariff.
That's interesting. On the couple of occasions that I've ordered something from Canada online, I paid no tariff or import fees to have it delivered to me in the USA.

But, when I've shipped to Canada from here, the import fees were added either to the sale (if I sold on Ebay, etc) or it was added when the postage label was created.
