Duty free for amateur product in Canada ... YES. It is not because you bought something from Canada you will be duty free.... you finally IMPORT something on your side. So you are responsible of the restriction of your country.

I ordered a lot of amateur products from the US... and I only thing I pay is standard sale taxes... no other charges (duty)...

Canada Post charge me 5$ for handling..... even if it cost 5$ or 1000$.

Duty charges is not equal to taxes.... duty free is when you pay only taxes with no other fees.... like all ham radio product that come to Canada.... It is supposed to be the same for Canada to US.... If you use FEDEX or UPS.... they charge a lot only taking your box across the border..... :-((( I always use USPS or Canada Post.

Aren't amateur radio related items duty-free in the UK and EU,
as they are in Canada?  I became aware of this through extensive
eBay sales.
