Drove to Sweetgrass Montana yesterday, stayed overnight. Monday morning went to pick up my wing kit that was sent from Vans to Montana Shipping Outlet. Did a self clearing at the border using a code i got from Vans Airforce guys. Took about 1/2 hr at customs and was done. Paid the GST and away we went back home west of Edmonton. Only expensive part was Vans shipping costs to get it there. $1700 CDN. Plus it took pretty much a month to get it there.
 
Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s good to hear the self-clearing process was fairly straightforward and only took about 30 minutes. The GST is expected, but that $1,700 CAD shipping charge and the month-long wait are definitely tough to swallow. Still, it sounds like using Montana Shipping Outlet and handling the customs clearance yourself helped avoid additional brokerage fees. Glad you got your wing kit home safely now the fun part of the build can begin!
