Default Customs and Alpine Problem

I went to go pick up my Turbo at the Airport and had to pay $700CAn in Customs Fees.The break down was 6% Duty Charge,7% PST,and 8%GST.I was so pissed of that i had to pay $700.I should of told Gavin at Alpine to put the value down ALOT if i knew this was going to happen.I was explaining at Customs that its just a Demo and they didnt care.
Secondly,Im not sure who it was but i noticed all my pipes have RUST INSIDE.I tried to remove it to see if it was just surface rust but its not!!!
Im so pissed off and have to call them up to figure out this problem
THIS IS NOT MY WEEK,First the Brass button clutch problem then my Alpine Turbo kit.
Whats NEXT?????????????

I would go after Alpine for the $700. They should at least offer to pay a portion of those fees! for an addtional $700, I would have left it there and let them send it back.
