Hi all,
This is my first post here, so .... hi. This is a question aimed at
the Canadian list members, so if that's a truly tiny minority, feel free to email me back
off-list.
I'm based in Montreal and was planning on picking up some modules (first some of the
filters/power supply/rails/etc, then later on some oscs/vcas/etc.). So probably $700/
800USD in one go, provided that can be done in terms of logistics on Paul's end.
Having never bought anything above, say, $100USD from the US I was wondering if you
guys had any conclusions regarding the amount of duties customs slaps on. Obviously the
fact the modules are US-made helps in regards to NAFTA, but what does that mean at the
end of the day in financial terms? I'm leaning towards kits, if that matters.
Shipping time is less of a concern, but I'd be curious to know that as well, if it's possible to
generalise.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Matthew
