In a similar vein, not long ago, I received a piece of furniture I ordered
from Italy. I owed something like $30 in US Customs, but it arrived broken.

Help:
What has worked for me is make sure that Elecraft tags it as:
"Amateur Radio being returned from Warranty Repairs".
The tricky part is if they insure it for full value. CRA sometimes sees
that as a value and will charge you HST on it. Also, make sure you use
USPS to reduce brokerage fees.
I have done the same going across the Pigeon River Border to MN. That piece of
paper from Cdn side helps and I carry it at all times when transporting my gear
back and forth as well.

There are ways to do this but it involves all parties being on the same page
and paperwork.
I always found it easier to drive to the border and register equipment with
Canadian customs then drive to buffalo or niagra falls and ship from ups or
whomever. I then have it shipped back for counter
I was not charged any duties or taxes because it was an RMA and clearly
marked as such. I paid for insurance though to guard against any delivery
"issues".

Good afternoon, has any Canadian Elecrafters sent a rig to Elecraft for
warranty repairs and if so when the radio was return were you charged any duty
or HST taxes as it crossed over the boarder? I may be sending a rig down and
was just wondering what cross boarder experience was of those who
