	CANADA-US: Customs Union Could Have Big Political Price - Experts
		Customs union, which involves setting preferential rules of origin on imports between the member states, harmonising standards and regulations of products and services and a common trade policy in a bloc like NAFTA, is just one ingredient in the "deep integration" mix that is being promoted by groups like the C.D. Howe Institute.
		One of the failings of NAFTA is that U.S. companies are given considerable leeway to use U.S. trade law to legally harass Canadian exporters and impose duties on their products, he adds.
		The tendency in customs unions is for the regulations of the larger country to predominate, says Marc Lee, a Vancouver-based economist with the CCPA.

		As explained in an Oct. 7 letter from the Customs Office to Top Shelf, the shipment had not been seized for the usual reason: material deemed to be in violation of obscenity laws.
