A little off topic but I feel this should be an informative sticky in the Canadian forums if some good info is shared.
Recently I did a trade with a good friend of mine in US. My knife arrived fine to him but his two knives (Seb21 Tanto and a Norseman) got detained at customs. Both knives were in the same package. The knives were deemed "illegal" to enter Canada as they opened with centrifugal force...something we know it can't really happen with the sebenza and very very unlikely to happen with the Norseman . I have three options, 1.appeal 2. Export it back to US 3. Destroy them.
At the current moment I am trying to appeal the decision but we are thinking that maybe it will be easier just to export the knives back to US. Canada custom is a total pain as they literally tell you in the letter it is up to you to find a bonded carrier for the package and they don't provide any list or anything. I am here asking my fellow BF Canadians to either share their info on how to appeal their decision, share some positive or negative stories, and MOST importantly share some insight on possible Bonded Carriers I could use to export the knives.
Please let's not talk about the political BS about Canadian customs because I don't want this thread to be closed because of it. Let's.keep it just informative !!!
