Just an FYI post. Please be aware that after Sept 8th there may be a very serious, like 50% tariffs on our used parts sales between our amazing countries!.  I have sold and shipped from Canada to the USA for 30 years but things are changing quickly!!!!. I am in the midst of a parts sale with parts in transit(already in the USA)from Canada to Illinois to a fellow (very understanding)FE lover!. I had an awful time , doing everything right with the shipping company , only to get hit with a tariff charge. Pay it or we will either charge you storage per day on your package or dispose of your package and charge you for it!!!. I was at the least, shocked!!. The person at the UPS was zero help  and said that UPS was now a franchise like McDonalds and didn't give one youknowwhat what happens after you pay the shipping charge. I went to them for help after getting an email less than 12 hours of scanning and loading my parcel into the truck that if i did not provide commercial/export sales information/documentation for the parcel I would be charged storage by the day for the parcel or the package will be disposed of and i will be charged for that cost!. I paid the tariff charge to make sure the buyer got the parts but wanted to let all of you know, selling our parts will not he easy moving forward!. FE's Forever!!!...... John

Depends on if the part was manufactured in Canada or the US. I just bought some Mopar parts from a Canadian Vendor and there weren't any tariffs.

Unless things have changed you do not want to use UPS to ship internationally as they use a broker to clear customs,

Last time i did anything Fed EX handled their own clearance as did postal service.

Ups charges absurd fees for such.
Avoid them.

The prices are annoying, the paperwork is worse to be honest.
