Got charged duties/taxes for whole leaf tobacco - suggestions needed

[FmGrowit]

If you are charged the incorrect tax on the tobacco, we provide two places to download a reassessment form.


This window appears at checkout for ALL customers in Canada, but it also appears as though nobody ever reads it.


This one is sent to you as an attachment with your order confirmation. You click on the link (see red circle) to download the reassessment form.



And there is a third document attached to your package. Complete the form with your information and send your order back to customs.

All of the technical information is already filled out on the form. All you have to do is put your name and contact information on the form and send your order back to be reassessed. When an order is sent back for reassessment, it is correctly assessed 100% of the time.

Every single order being shipped to Canada has had these forms attached/available for the past five years.

Hello folks. I ordered 5 pounds of tobacco leafs and today got assessed at Montreal border. They say I need to pay 1100$ in duties and taxes. What should I do? Thanks pales

After all thoses questions I did ask myself very serious about this post
If this happen to me it will cost me app 3,000$, wich I will not pay for sur
And if I ask for another 15 pounds Will I be charged 3,000$
I had a 15 pnds plus a few materiel, like a shredder wich is not for what I did command i will simply ask for another one( 11 pounds flue cured treshed lemon/bright) PLus a few 5 pounds of something else) and a an injector wich works very fine and a basic shredder.
My bill was Duty 18.23, excise tax 0,gst/hst 35.76 Pst 0, handling 9.95 Total 63.94.
Maybe the custom are mixed up or I am mixed up.
Someone wrote on my bill, a left handed person, was it Wlt or the custom.
With all my reading the bill should have been (correct China Voodoo ?)
about 15$ for excise tax wich is 0), duty app 900$ ( as for PST) plus tax gst and PST (Quebec), plus on the over all amount

So what a mix, someone knows the good number ?
I want to ask for more, and a better shredder, what a risk, shoud my friendsss in AB and NB buy it for me

How much should it have cost me
15 pound
Equipement app 250$

Sounds good

I don't know, it probably did if he was actually brave enough to leave a singing message! If I were to leave a singing "return to sender" message nobody would recognize the tune! Then again if "Just for laughs gags" was filmed in the prairie provinces it would be a vey different program!

335CAD x 0.14975 = 50.16 gst+pst
6.75kg x 1.57 = 10.60 excise tax
$9.95 handling
About $70.50 total

The fed tax is very clear, what ever you take it way or another, about the same

the problem is the provincial tax

Like someone said
In Quebec I think it works out to this
$10 for CBSA to look
$1.57 per kg or $0.785 per lb excise tax
$149 per kg or $67.5 per lb provincial tobacco tax
And likely provincial sales tax of 14.95% on top

.....
You can easily counts that 149$/gr x 15 pounds = much more

only 2 possibilty
custom are mixed up, and/or do how they fill at that on the moment
Or
the 149$/gr ( $67.5/ pounds) is wrong

I will do another try with less tobacco




too bad shipment is expensive cause everything under 20$ goes through free of evrything
imagine 67.5$/pound x15pound ( + gst and Pst) ... ayoye = app 1115
