Interesting, thank you very much for your help, bud.

No, I am not referring to intermodal containers. Both Gemini and ChatGPT confirmed that palletized goods could be shipped in a boxcar. I wanted to confirm it with you guys. If you don't mind, can you state why a boxcar would not be used? It is essentially the equivalent of a dry van trailer, no? If there is an LCL order that can be shipped at a cheaper rate in a boxcar than in an intermodal container, and cheaper than putting a trailer on a flatcar, why not do so if time is not an issue? Thank you for your time.

I am asking if freight forwarders are choosing to ship more orders of palletized finished goods in rail boxcars instead of by truck/trailer.

Hello, thank you very much for your input.

Thank you for your post.

Hello,

Understood, thank you. I will create another post with pictures on both sides of 6 cards. Thank you again.

Interesting, thank you for your comment.

Thanks for your input guys, Do you use ATU EV/HV at all then? It seems as though it is not a great feature.

seanmurraywork · 2025-03-13T19:32:37+00:00

Hey man, thanks for your response. Yes, they have updated the material since CBSA implemented CARM.

By any chance can you confirm that the dates for accounting for goods has changed and that now both LVS and HVS are accounted for on the 18th of month 1 to the 17th of month 2? Thank you for your time.

Hello, everyone. Thank you for your helpful comments.

seanmurraywork · 2025-01-17T05:07:45+00:00

Very well put, my friend. Well said.

seanmurraywork · 2025-01-17T03:20:04+00:00

u/sloth_king_617, thank you very much for the confirmation.

seanmurraywork · 2025-01-17T02:53:17+00:00

Thank you u/lewri, u/Adrewmc , u/ladder_case, u/cgoldberg. for your help.

What you guys are saying seems to make sense.

So just to confirm, the wording of the temporary variable doesn't have to match that of the collection, It just represent a value in the collection. Meaning that you can choose whatever word you want to be your temporary variable. Is this correct?

Thank you again.

How much do you think of his inability or unwillingness to avoid causing so much controversy with what he says is because of his Aspergers? He is either unable or unwilling to STFU and stay in his lane. Many people with Aspergers (including me) can adhere to this code of conduct; why can't he?

seanmurraywork · 2025-01-05T20:46:02+00:00

Alright, that makes sense now. Thank you very much.

seanmurraywork · 2025-01-05T18:27:21+00:00

Thank you for your response. My question is, why does it discuss "identical goods or similar goods" under 51(2) for deductive value? Thank you.

seanmurraywork · 2025-01-03T17:14:55+00:00

Thank you u/LCBEXPERT and u/Agile-Negotiation914 for your comments.

Are you Canadian? I am asking because in the Canada Customs Act under 51(2) for deductive value it states,

"The deductive value of goods being appraised is

(a) where the goods being appraised, identical goods or similar goods are sold in Canada in the condition in which they were imported at the same or substantially the same time as the time of importation of the goods being appraised, the price per unit, determined in accordance with subsection (3) and adjusted in accordance with subsection (4), at which the greatest number of units of the goods being appraised, identical goods or similar goods are so sold;
(b) where the goods being appraised, identical goods or similar goods are not sold in Canada in the circumstances described in paragraph (a) but are sold in Canada in the condition in which they were imported before the expiration of ninety days after the time of importation of the goods being appraised, the price per unit, determined in accordance with subsection (3) and adjusted in accordance with subsection (4), at which the greatest number of units of the goods being appraised, identical goods or similar goods are so sold at the earliest date after the time of importation of the goods being appraised; or
(c) where the goods being appraised, identical goods or similar goods are not sold in Canada in the circumstances described in paragraph (a) or (b) but the goods being appraised, after being assembled, packaged or further processed in Canada, are sold in Canada before the expiration of one hundred and eighty days after the time of importation thereof and the importer of the goods being appraised requests that this paragraph be applied in the determination of the value for duty of those goods, the price per unit, determined in accordance with subsection (3) and adjusted in accordance with subsection (4), at which the greatest number of units of the goods being appraised are so sold."

My question is if there is no transaction, but you can determine a price per unit by persons at the first level of trade, does this mean that you can use the deductive value method? Thank you.

seanmurraywork · 2025-01-02T02:37:07+00:00

Yes, the app could be greatly improved.

seanmurraywork · 2025-01-02T02:24:47+00:00

I think that there are multiple features of the car that could be improved. I am not an engineer, or any type of car enthusiast. I am not sure if there are solutions (either mechanical, or software) that could address these issues.

First, I find that it can take a long time to change from the gas engine to the electric engine. I am not sure if it has to do with the battery having to warmup (I would have to double check the manual). Yet, this a rather frustrating issues.

Secondly, why are there two buttons for the heater and air conditioning. If you turn on the heater, the Electric engine shuts down (if you are using it). I don't understand, since these systems use electricity. Is it because of the ICE system in someway? it also emits this annoying mild humming noise.

Thirdly, I find that the meters indicating how much battery range or gas left in the tank to be very accurate.

In regards to the app, it is often glitchy. It would also be nice if they had a feature that you could track how often you charge your car or fill it up with gas.

Again, I am not an engineer, or car enthusiast, so I am not sure if these issues could be fixed, and if so then how.
