Should not be any customs fees or duties -- NAFTA eliminated that stuff for
practically everything.  Got several buddies who bought yaks in Canada and
drove homw with them.  There was some funny business about their sales tax,
though.  Don't remember the details.  Bet Phil torrens from MEC knows the
rules, though.  He's on the list.

Transport?  I bet you find somebody reliable on this list who will do it for
less than a hundred bucks.  (Not me, unfortunately, I'm workbound right now.]
