First, I do think that UPS is it own brokerage (correct me if I am wrong)
because I have used them when bringing bigger ticket items like boats and
boilers across the border. In fact, I use them exclusively.
I'm not sure about the Canadian Border, but UPS has purchased the largest
brokerage agencies on the Mexican border and they run under the UPS flag,
management, and profit margin.
Customs brokers see their brokerage license as a license to steal.

_This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this
seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature
for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men,
this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it
in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy
of less happier lands,-- This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this
England._ (http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/25255.html) _ William
Shakespeare_
