Here's an update to this procedure that I used to to purchase a 990, shipped to Vancouver BC.
After a recent annoying experience with a shipper who used FedEx instead of UPS (not Outlaw), I asked FedEx how to self-clear. Here is their reply:
Reply received from FedEx
Thank you for your e-mail. In order to self-clear your package, the shipper must indicate on the Ground Commercial Invoice, under broker information, that you will “self-clear” and provide your name and phone number. You will then be contacted by FedEx Ground who will advise you where the shipping documents/manifest may be obtained. You may then go to your nearest local customs office to submit the paperwork and pay duties and/or taxes, if any.
For further information, please contact FedEx Trade Networks at 1-866-463-8682.
I haven't had a chance to use this procedure yet, so I do not know where the FedEx Vancouver depot is located.
I managed to find some additional information
here from an AVSForum member importing equipment from Japan.
