You also have to pay sales tax (provincial and federal), though, if value is lower than x, you may get exempted ($50 or $100, from what I have seen, very discretionary). If you use UPS they charge a brokerage fee, usually $80, just to verify that no duties are due. If the shopper has an agreement with Canada Post, the flat fee is $5 or $10, depending on the value. USPS used Canada Post on our side, so the brokerage fees are more reasonable. On top of that most US vendors charge exorbitant shipping charges. It is often better to ship (free) to a border town (e.g. UPS store) and make a trip. Lately, the local stores offer quite competitive prices (e.g. Binnacle, Marine Outfitters or Ottawa Chandlery).

Seriously wanting education. Your import taxes in Canada. Are those like tariffs? On everything or just some things. Inquiring mind....

For a Canadian to pay US funds plus shipping plus import taxes plus brokerage fees is out of the question. Thanks anyway. I’ll do my shopping at the Binnacle.
