Custom fees between Canada and USA


What is best to do when goods are sold from Canada to USA and from USA to Canada to prevent custom fees. What about NAFTA agreement, rates, etc. Thanks for you advises.

I can only reiterate what Rgd and Turbodieselvw have said: Canada does not charge customs fees or duty in electronics imported from the U.S. (in accordance with NAFTA), but, like every other transaction, you have to pay sales tax. Until last year, you only had to pay GST, but now PST is also charged. I avoid UPS because the brokerage fee is a minimum of CDN$33 and it rises as a percentage of the item's value. Also, I've had several damaged items via UPS but, so far, none via USPS airmail. I have no information on Canada to U.S. shipments
