Greetings, all. First time post, seems like I've found a wealth of NEXUS knowledge.

Wife and I have had NEXUS for 5+ years, recently renewed. We've used them very little, picked them up primarily for benefits while entering Canada via private vessel. Never a problem...until today. Stupid mistake on our (my) part has me concerned.

I sold some motorcycle pipes to a guy in Victoria. We take the ferry over there on occasion, so I figured I could save the guy some shipping costs and hand carry them over next time we crossed over from Port Angeles.

Trouble is - I used my wife to transport them over. She was headed over to shop, knew nothing of the transaction, was just asked to drop off the pipes for him at the terminal. Assumed it was one of my many biking buddies.

Upon arrival, Customs quizzed her about the pipes - asking her if they were sold and for how much. She had no clue, and since the guy had sent PayPal funds ahead of time - she was not collecting anything from him. So, she said no. They weren't being sold as far as she knew.

Agent looked at her incredulously, whisked her off to a private room. They said they didn't believe her. They searched her phone, found info about the guy I had texted over to her (name, vehicle, where he would be waiting outside the ferry terminal) and they sent an agent over. He confirmed a transaction. $200...certainly not something worth lying about.

Still, the agent returned to her and told her her NEXUS could be revoked. Said they couldn't believe her spouse (me) wouldn't have informed her they were sold. She got rightfully upset/pissed of, complained of the damn motorcycle she hates anyway, let them know how much trouble I was going to be in for putting her through this, and basically made them believe her...and perhaps, even commiserate with her a bit. So, the good news is - they let her in, although they made her pay the uncollected tax.

However, a comment was made that this would be notated on her NEXUS record...I believe the term was "flagged." This doesn't sound like a good thing. So...can anyone advise what exactly, this might mean down the road? And, is there any way for me to submit documentation confirming she was a victim of ignorance, and not a deliberate act? Even if such an option exists, I've no idea if that would do any good or not.

TIA...
