It DOES include brokerage fees for UPS Express or Expedited, I am quite sure of that. And I have used it for mail order companies which can only ship by UPS; and there was no brokerage fees at all, only taxes. Just avoid UPS Ground or UPS Standard service at all cost. And you can confirm it by checking out this page, it's all spelt out quite clearly: http://www.ups.com/content/ca/en/shipping/cost/zones/customs_clearance.html As you can see, the worst deal is for shipping UPS Ground with a declared value of $40.10, as they would charge you $18.45 (46% of your item cost)! And it stated that brokerage is free for Express or Expedited service. There is a disbursement fee, which can be avoided if you call them and pay the taxes in advance after you got your tracking number. -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4--
