One time I was at YVR custom and decided to report my palau nepthea frag that I brought in a small container. The custom guy was mad at me first because I didn't have any documentation about the corals but since it was only a small frag he let me go but told me not to do that again. As I was packing my duffel bag, I saw a Filipino couple got detained for bringing in fried chicken in unmarked cans. They were smiling to each other not knowing the consequences until the same custom officer who spoke to me said, " Sir, I will fine you $800 for bringing undeclared meat products to Canada. You told another agent earlier that you didn't bring any meat products. Obviously you lied to us." I saw the lady almost cried.
