Here is an example of what I'd like to do:

c eval Duty = CanadianDuty(parm1: parm2: parm3)

and the procedure CanadianDuty would have 3 parameters as input and return the value of the duty.

I believe I can do that process, but I *know* I have no idea how to do the same thing where I need to return 2 values, say "Duty" and "Tariff".

One way to do it is to return a data structure, so your code would look like:

c eval CustomsFees = CanadianDuty(parm1: parm2: parm3)
...
c eval totalCost = ... + CustomsFees.duty + CustomsFees.tariff ...


You can also use "output" parameters, as you might if you were coding a program instead of a procedure to retrieve the information:

c callp CanadianDuty(parm1: parm2: parm3: duty : tariff)


Yet another way would be have one procedure for each type of fee, which would be closer to your first example:

c eval Duty = CanadianDuty(parm1: parm2: parm3)
c eval Tariff = CanadianTariff(parm1: parm2: parm3)
