A Costly ATV


A Canadian resident had his ATV seized at the border last month for trying to under-value the cost of the machine purchased in the U.S.

Canada Border Services Agency says the man declared the new machine at $35-hundred under cost in hopes to saving money on import taxes.

The ATV was seized and returned once a $2,200 penalty was paid.

Had the full value been properly declared, the taxes would have been $171.00.
