Re: [MOPO] Shipping valuable posters to Canada

[Michael Greenwood]

Hi Walter If properly declared, we get stiffed with 15% excise taxes on the Canadian value as well as broker fees for Customs time in filling out the correct forms.  If the poster is marked US$20, it will cost me just under CDN$9 to pick up.  It's a drag.  That's why I go the illegal route when I can. The best method for a more expensive poster is to ship by a trackable and trusted courier like Fed-Ex.  Mark a low value and take your chances.  Knowing that your seller is a good packer, of course.

I know that, if properly declared, there is no duty in the US or the UK on old movie posters.What is the law in Canada? thanks!  Walter Reuben Walter Reuben, Inc. <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />500 North Harper Avenue Los AngelesCA90048USA Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (323) 651 3313 www.walterfilm.com Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
