I appreciate the offer very much but it's not that critical at this point. Let me take a rain-check on it for something really important!

Although I don't like the arbitrary import policy here, a defined one sure makes sense for a country's economy. There is a story here about a famous brand BBQ from the USA that was being sold in stores. A local company saw it, came out with a similar product for half the cost, mostly because of no duty. Kept the jobs inside the country.

Oh, and I have have had gifts from the USA assessed duties as well.
