Some years ago I bought a URM-25 from a Canadian seller. I had to go to the freight company office to pick it up.
When I got there, a US Customs Official told me I would have to pay an Import Duty on it. When I protested that it was being re-imported back into the country of origin, I was greeted with indifference. It was only when I told them to keep it and started to leave did common sense kick in and I got my Sig Gen. I'll bet that could not happen today !! 73, Dick, W1KSZ -----Original Message----- >From: "J.
