I am aware that pc parts are non taxable(excluding casing and fans la)

however my shipment has been detained since early this week, im still awaiting their letter asking me to go down to collect it

http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetW...m=EB029992863US

Contents are as follows:
Radiators
waterblocks
6 feet of tubing
a tube of AS5 12g tube, which they may think its drugs or summthing
some rubber dampers for fans
some plastic springs
5x fan controllers

My question is, are the above items taxable (other then the tubing), if its not, then why was my shipment detained.

if it is taxable, approximately how much do i need to pay? as i cant find any of it in the kastam tax schedule, as well as how do i go down to collect it? or where do i go to? and procedures?

ps, i have yet to receive the letter sad.gif

1. When ppl say radiator... what do you think of? car spareparts lor
2. Rubber & spring dutiable
3. Tubing? PVC tube?
The thing is, base on your description above, I won't be surprised if even IT students also won't know they are for computers.
