In Response To: Duties and Brokerage Fees (grant)

Just came back today with an bunch of epoxy. Only charge was PST and GST. No duty. Several of us went together and bought a quantity so I only had a copy of the total bill. Customs was a bit confused at that but let me through. Would have been better if I had even had a hand written receipt from anyone but anyone silly enough to be paddling December 22 in Montana has to be believed.
good luck

: Don: It sounds like you either work for CCR or have a lot of experience with
: these issues. Is there really much cost savings? If properly declared you
: have to pay GST and PST at the border. What is your understanding of the
: brokerage fees? How do I estimate brokerage fees before placing an order?
