Re: USPS postal update re Canadian mail



One of our directors lives in Alberta. I asked him about this, and he said
that this is a sort of national sales tax that the purchaser pays on any
goods purchased, including by mail order. It is solely the purchaser's
responsibility to pay the tax on receipt of the goods, and it has no impact
on the costs incurred by the seller or shipper of the goods. He hasn't heard
of it applying to magazines yet, but he'll let me know if that changes. He
offered an observation that taxes have gone up significantly ever since the
NAFTA agreements; as he put it, "What free trade?"
