RE: Customs Broker.
I went to that site. What am I supposed to ask them? I want to import something? That is the most vague question you can ask a customs broker, kind of like the vague answer you gave me. I know how to Google things. Why dont you keep your time and not answer my questions with attitude. I am looking for spicific help, not common sense answers. Haver you ever imported anything before? if not, dont answer, if you have then maybe you can give me more specific instructions.

RE: Customs Broker.
Steve Tously wants to send me a whipple HO Kit. 
This is what he told me:
"As for the brokerage, I'm not 100% sure whats involved as I've never had to do it myself. It's something to do with customs and taxes/duties.
If you check around I'm sure someone can explain it better than I can, I only know about it from guys up there getting large parts shipped up there."
So I decided to ask around!

So I apologize for my vague answer to your very "specific" question

RE: Customs Broker.
Honestly the best way you can deal with it is to have him send it and let it get caught in customs (if it does)... If it's being sent person to person it probably won't even be looked at... I've made international ebay sales and never had a problem... Worst case if you ask me is that you'll get a phone call saying it was held up and you need to pay some amount... If it's sent by UPS or FEDEX from a residential to a residential, I seriously doubt it will even be questioned... I've sent things to friends in Canada a bunch of times without a question... You're looking too far into something...

But this s/c ships from whipple so he needs a broker. I've lived overseas and when a product ships from a business sometimes tariffs are involved so a broker is needed.
