yes it was duty
i asked the guys at sss
u can sometimes get things sent to 3 differnet people at 3 different address
so they dont notice they are all for same person
these days u have to see if its worth all the fussing around because no matter what u do the govt is always going to sting u for somehting no matter what
and also some places in usa and canada if they r small business they understand about the extra costs so some put a cheaper price on invoice but u better hope customs dont chase up the part
but i find with the big companies they put the correct figure on the invoice

if i need stuff from japan i can get then hidden in doors hehheeh
or if small enough in onboard luggage
