Default Does anyone have a brokerage account to recieve items in the US??

I ordered Wheels and Grill from a guy in Canada. Called UPS to pick it up (paid $800.00) and now that its at the boarder, I have to open a brokerage account to get it in the US and thats another $575. for a one time package that is insane to me.. UPS said nothing about this when we set it up for shipment
Can someone help..

Thanks Jordan

something doesn't sound right. I Have recieved stuff from overseas and never had that. You might have to pay a tax on it, but that should be it.....

I figured it out. I called a different brokerage firm and there saying its only like $80-$100 Bucks and that the other people are crazy. So I'm going with this company.

Thanks guys
