No this is not about a a quaint dance or how we kiss in the cold !
About 3 months ago I contacted customs canada about importing fiberglass
fiberglass tape , micro balloons , sillica , 3 gallons total of raka
epoxy
(epoxy + fast hardener + slow hardener). The gentleman who answered told
me
that this should be imported as a boat (3% duty) since in the end this
would 
become a sabotina sail pram. He went on to say that I should get an
official
quote (he was not ready to garanty that this would be acceptable at the
time
of importation with out this!).This entailed that I submit all technical 
information I had on the products to be imported and proof that this
would be
used in the construction of a boat(in this case I sent a copy of the
plan and
instructions that also showed quantaties of products needed) and a
letter in
their approved style stating that I new of no illigal practice that this 
entailed with more identifying matter. I actually went thrue this!

	Now I've received a lettre asking that I submit samples of all of the
above mentionned products in sufficient quantity for their testing! Do
any of
you have any experience with importing epoxy from RAKA(or others for
that
matter) if so how and in what quantity. There must be a better way ?
Feel 
free to E-mail me if you feel this is of local interest only , but
please 
ALL Canadians respond!!!
