Clear customs, damn I'm glad I don't have to deal with that. Sounds like another way for the government to get a hand into your pocket. Better get back on the road geez only 3 months till storage time, Summers go so fast :(

Yup, it was in issue. Apparently it was manifested incorrectly, and along with other delays at the shipper CDA customs decided they would have a "closer look". 48 hrs worth..
But..... I'm all better now!!
