I am in canada

how much will customs cost me if I buy a 100lb, 4000$TV from the USA?

can anybody help me out?

thanx

Have someone mail it as a gift

about 1000$

if it aint made in mexico, usa or here, u gotta pay both duties and taxes.

they convert the usd to CDN then add duties which is a %. Then they add that amount to the price u declare and charge u gst/pst.

i bought 2 sneakers for 60usd and paid 30bux in duties/taxes

I would guess probably around 150 bucks ..shipping always kills the savings

correct, plus brokerage fee ....

phone canada customs and ask :)
but yeah, long story short, if you're not picking it up yourself, you'll get hit with:
GST and PST, brokerage, and whatever the duty amount on it is (ask canada customs :))

if you're picking it up yourself, you'll skip the brokerage fee...
If you get lucky, there have a been a few days recently where they've striked, and not charged tax or duty, but I think those days are over :)
I have a mailbox just over the border that I go to monthly :)

Here's an awesome trick.

Goto www.ecost.com and put something in the same price range and weight in your shopping cart. Click on the Canadian shipping button and it'll give you the itemized pricing of the unit which includes TAXES, CUSTOMS, and SHIPPING...

ecost uses borderfree, a service where the Canadian government collects the customs and taxes AHEAD of time from the retailer.

you should have it shipped directly from the factory to your home


chances are the TV is import out of asia

at 2969 and taxes & 170 for ship

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...3439&CatId=387
2k + taxes and ship

grrr, I keep getting Checkout Error :(

one is HD, other is normal quality

yes but they are from canada, so no duties :winkwink:

I thought you bought 100 lb worth of hairspray at a time :) The cost should be about the same.

The pst tax alone would be way more then that... not to mention duties/brokerage.

i'm in a helping mood, send it to me and i'll send it to you as a gift.

you ask the gayest questions
