According to the Canadian Border Services Agency, Lloyd Paul Kindrat received the fine Tuesday in Estevan provincial court after pleading guilty to a Customs Act violation.

 

The agency said Kindrat was charged after he arrived at the North Portal border crossing with a Rotorway Exec helicopter he said was worth $9,000 US.

 

Officers became suspicious when it appeared the bill of sale had been altered. An investigation determined the actual purchase price was $26,995 US.

He should be more worried about weather or not he as a decent life insurance policy rather than how much GST he has to pay for that death tra..... euhhhhh..... I mean toy......... euhhhhh.............. I mean wanna be helicopter. :shock:

$9000 that's a stretch! What ever was paid was to much! Isn't the $3000 fine still cheaper than the GST/Import fee's? :up:

The fine is usually added to the actual GST...
