I think you had to them indicate it was repaired item to avoid the fee.

Subject: [Ferrari] $277.50 for a new glass for the clock

Remember my foggy looking glass for the clock ?
Well it's back home now. Total cost $277.50 canadian. Here is the run down:
 
$26.24 for shipping it to WEST VALLEY (instrument specialists) in California from Montreal.
$182.00 ($140 u.s., exchange rate 1.30, west valley charged me for repair and shipping.
$69.26 Canada customs charged me.
Total $277.50 canadian
 
I should not be paying customs for an item that was sent for repair. This one I don't understand at all. West Valley put a value of $300 u.s. on the bill for insurance purposes. Then Canada Customs charged me on that value. Ridiculous. I think I'll take my chance and call Canada Customs.
It's one of those things where you say to yourself  'if I had known beforehand, I would have left the foggy glass on. The clock was working and I could see the time anyway. All this because I could not get the stem out myself. I was afraid to break it.
 
Oh well, the price of owning your Dream Ferrari

P.S.: I hope they didn't break it, I'll have to wait for spring to know. SCARY thought.
