I don't know which customs shaved your cable, but
I presume it was
likely the US customs. I doubt that Canadian customs would be
interested in a package going to the US, although it might have been
opened and shaved in Canada - since very often it is more efficient
to do the inspection at a few central points of origin rather than
many points of destination. People are pre-cleared into the US
as well.
I should have specified US Customs. And I have heard from several
people that Canadian Customs are much faster and less likely to either
directly damage a shipment or to improperly repack it. My minimal
experience bears that out.
