Buying online from U.S. company and shipping to Canada

[maz]

Hey Hutz13,

i have bought tons from the states and brought stuff back to Canada.

Not knowing where you exactly live in Canada the best way I found was to ship to an address at a border town on the US side. Wait until all of your items are there and then make the drive (if not to far) to colect them bring them across yourself. Then you save the brokers charges as well. If you have a GST number and import them into Canada as a business you only then pay GST and PST is not collected by Canada Customs.

I bought my H2 as well in the US and brought it back the exact same way as i have illustrated above. It was really effortless.

Forgive me if this has been covered but I did a search and found nothing.

Does anyone know how much the duty is to ship automotive accessories from the U.S. to Canada?

I'v ebeen shopping for a new H2 here and found much better prices on add-ons from online suppliers in the States ... usually the duty or import taxes end up screwing the deal.

Any Canadians care to share experiences? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
