Almost. The brokerage fee will be charged on the cheaper UPS rate, but if you go for the UPS express for a few dollars more then brokerage is included and you will just pay the GST/PST on delivery. The USPS worldwide express tends to be around the same price as UPS express so if you want the item a bit quicker then either is a pretty safe choice. It could be worth taking a gamble on the USPS service as occasionally customs will let a package through with no charge. Unless it's addressed to me, of course :-( -- Wendy Beard Ottawa Canada
