Nexus Revoked for declaring the purpose of my trip into the U.S.

Hello all, I wanted to share my journey to get my Nexus reinstated. One day I purchased a Scope for one of my firearms from a U.S. vendor and had it shipped to my U.S. mailbox. When it arrived I made my journey to the U.S.

When I arrived to the border I spoke with U.S. Border Agent and he/she asked me what my purpose was to enter the U.S., so I told them that I purchased a Scope from a U.S. vendor for one of my firearms. I identified myself as a licensed Canadian competitor. So they sent me into secondary inspection. I was asked to show my receipt of the purchase and the website and specs of the item. Shortly after I was informed that it is not eligible to be brought back and that I should use a U.S. and Canadian arms broker to bring it accross. I was a bit confused because in theory… a scope is essentially one half of a binocular. But understand now that the application is what puts in a category that requires paperwork etc that an arms broker can facilitate. *** I have not crossed at this point ***

So… I basically told the agent that I’ll abort my plan and just head back to into Canada and arrange a return to the vendor. While I’m leaving I ask the U.S. agent if my Nexus will be impacted. He said “no… you haven’t gone into the U.S. and taken custody of the item nor did you attempt to bring it across the border”.

That response made complete sense and didn’t think about it again…

Until… 3 days later I get a notification that my membership has been revoked. I was very surprised to see this as I was told that my Nexus membership would not be impacted at all. I tried getting a hold of a live body at the land border crossing that this took place, but it was next to impossible to get a hold of anybody. So I emailed everybody that I could and started the review process. It has been almost 6 months now and have not seen or heard anything regarding my case.

Has anybody experienced something like this that had their membership revoked the four even making an attempt to bring anything back?

Any insights any anyone here can share would be greatly appreciated.
