I made an offer on an engine today in Canada and received this message

“i have received offers for the steam engine so at the moment canada post is on strike so i cant ship this out as the cost using fedex or ups would be very expensive i can let you know when they go back to work if you want.”

I purchased this engine on 10/6. I just today received a bill from UPS for $10 that is due by 11/21

It says tariff rate: free
Entry prep fee: $10

That doesn't sound right?

If there's no tariff charge, then why should there be any "Entry Prep Fee"???
