Your customs experiences re-entering the US from Canada?
Have they confiscated or assessed duties on stuff you've brought back?

Imagine if you have brown skin or an accent.
I have an Asian brown skin and an accent and I cannot immediately flash them my high education, former executive position and fat bank account (might even invite suspicion I'm a drug lord, hehe).
But my stance is that I can immediately recognize if I'm shown discrimination or power play and I can show to them my 36 units of law and constitution, lol.
My biggest incident actually happened in LAX where my plane coming from Tokyo landed at the same time with a Colombian plane. I was wearing a pricey tailored suit (dress code for my company) and an equally pricey leather briefcase. I was twice accosted by DEA agents and when I said, yes?, they found out I don't have the right accent, lol. I was profiled even if I'm not bejeweled.
