Anytime a package is stopped and opened at the border a $5 handling fee is charged. They must also have a price guide because I have had a few items charged based on the "book" price. However, they are usually pretty good about refunding some of the money when you prove what you actually paid for the item on ebay. Either way it is very time consuming and costly. Usually not worth the aggravation of complaining. If you ship to the grading companies via an authorized dealer you avoid the border fees.
