Count on about 20-25%.... if UPS shipsit, count on about 30-35% total.
Cheapest method by far is USPS. When itcomes into Canada ,it’s a $5 brokerage charge, plus taxes & duties. UPS charges basedon value, so brokerage on $1000 would be around $100 or even more plus taxes,duties, etc.
Everyone in Canada pay attention:
DON’T SHIP EXPENSIVE ITEM INTO CANADA VIA UPS.…

Hi all,
This is my first post here, so .... hi. This is aquestion aimed at
the Canadian list members, so if that's a trulytiny 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 someoscs/vcas/etc.). So probably $700/
800USD in one go, provided that can be done interms of logistics on Paul's end.
Having never bought anything above, say, $100USDfrom the US I was wondering if you
guys had any conclusions regarding the amount ofduties customs slaps on. Obviously the
fact the modules are US-made helps in regards toNAFTA, but what does that mean at the
end of the day in financial terms? I'm leaningtowards kits, if that matters.
Shipping time is less of a concern, but I'd becurious to know that as well, if it's possible to
generalise.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Matthew
