I too ordered my Gus from C&L Cycles at the end of the day of Thursday, 9/22/22 and it was delivered on Wednesday, 9/28/22 to NYC. From Canada it was shipped via Purolator and then transferred to UPS for final delivery. I received an email from UPS on Tuesday afternoon regarding import fees stating that I could either pay online or have check ready for the delivery driver. I chose the latter and wrote a check to UPS for the amount of $243.92 USD. As for the original question regarding clearance fee, I do not know how it was calculated other than the split of brokerage fee and import tax fee that was stated in the UPS email. Here is the breakdown of my purchase:
Frame/Fork/Headset/54cm Orange
(C$2600.00 + C$199.19 Shipping)
= $2095.83 USD
+ $191.42 USD Import Tax
+ $52.50 USD Brokerage Fee
= $2339.75 USD

I bought my Gus from C&L Cycles out of Montreal. They shipped it to me (Pennsylvania) via UPS. I think it took 3 days? UPS sent me the bill for import fees and I think it was around $50. Dead simple process.

Yes, the Gus I found is at a Riv dealer in Canada. Having googled until I cannot stand it anymore I ask; anyone have experience with "clearance" fees associated with importing a bicycle frame from Canada? The closest I have come to uncovering the cost is that items valued under $2,500.00 US are less expensive and easier to do than items over $2,500.00. I started a Bikeflights estimate and I get the shipping cost and a message that clearance fees will be calculated and added to order.
