I would have thought that Apple would not only have been responsible

These problems occur at the port of entry.
With FedEx, and drop shipments of individual systems, the 'port of
entry' is anywhere the plane lands.
Recently both Apple and Gateway BTO systems purchased by the college
have shipped directly from factories in Shanghai and Taiwan, as
individual shipments. They likely fill entire FedEx and UPS aircraft
when they go out, but they're still labelled and shipped as
individual purchases, meaning, presumably, all the customs stuff is
done somewhat individually...
