Mike,
I am not in Canada, but I have done warranty repairs here in the US for
Canadian customers in the past. As far as I know, no duty or HST was
charged to the recipient.
The only time I got a report of charges was when a Canadian ham bought a
K2 from a ham in the US, and that seller shipped direct to me for
checkover, alignment and calibration. The buyer reported that he was
asked to pay customs fees. My guess is that he should have because that
was the first time the radio had entered Canada.
Just my experience from this side of the border. Other Canadian hams
may have something different to say.
One thing I can say is that you should ship via the postal system rather
than UPS or FedEX. Both those charge a "brokerage fee" which may be
substantial. Elecraft will have to charge you for any brokerage fees
that may be encountered.

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 have sent a
rig to Elecraft for warranty repairs?
Thanks in advance
