@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

I will ship something to Canadia if I don't have to fill out a customs form.

Maybe have it smuggled-in somehow?

I will gladly trade with Canadians! ... once I have a mix.

(I think the new theme for my mix is going to be "Totally K-Rad Collection Based On the Six CDs Or So V Brought Home For the Holiday -- or, Ben Folds and the Flaming Lips Are Forced To Make Sweet, Sweet Audio Love.")

Ok, well, anyone who doesnt mind trading for filthy tainted canadian cds (pretty much guaranteed no canadian music on 'em, though, since I hate virtually all of it), can email or PM me with their address... and Jough, I dont think you have to fill out customs stuff for burnt cds, or at least none of the americans I've traded with have had to.

I will send a copy of mine to anyone (from this board) who sends me their address and gives me the assurance that I'll get one in return.

Just send it air mail, and it doesn't require a customs from if it is:
1) Less than 16 ounces
and 2) "Mail matter that is not potentially dutiable."

As near as I can tell, a mix CD should meet both of these requirements, since CD's aren't that heavy, and it seems that "Goods valued under 20 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt. Gift shipments received by mail that are valued under 60 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt. " (all quotes from various USPS web pages)

That said, I've got a mix all lined up, and 4-5 padded mailers, so I'm up for participating.  And I'll trade with Canadians.

Went to the Post Office this morning to send Andalucia, pmcd9, sjlimmer and El Guapo their care packages. And discovered:

A single CD in a jewel box inside a padded mailer weighs exactly 4.5 ounces.  Sending it to Canada air mail cost $1.60 and required no customs forms or other bullshit.  

So don't let mailing concerns deter you from showering our pals in the Great White North with the bitchin' tune-stacks.

You send yours in a jewel case?  Hm.  Mine will be sandwiched between two 8.5x11" pages, folded in quarters to encase the CD.

Of course, many of you will be receiving an extra disc as well.

That's how I roll, yo.  

I wanted to throw in my band's fake German new-wave CD as an extra treat, but I haven't gotten my copies yet.  Alas.

I've just come from the post office, and the woman at the conter insisted that a customs form was required.  I'm going to try it again later, but if they keep giving me grief, I'll be switching tho Jough's method (I'm thinking that they don't believe a jewel case in a padded mailer has no value).  Stupid post office.

I know when we send stuff from work to Canada FedEx require the value be 1.00 for "valueless" Document shipments. Every other country require the that value be 0.00. Of course we mark everything as "medical records" which lets us send CDs and such as valueless.

Clarification: Our stuff really is medical records. Or at the very least requests for them which we should technically call "business letters" but most of us just leave the default selection since it's mostly true anyway.
