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.

Martin - you might find something at the Revenue Canada & Customs website (not sure of web address). As Turbo indicated, you will have to pay the appropriate taxes and if shipped via USPS,Canada Post will charge you a $5 handling charge to collect the taxes. I have had a number of US made products shipped here to Alberta and have only paid the GST (the benefit of living here..) on all of the items. As indicated, avoid UPS as they have their "hidden" brokerage charge that you only find out about when the package is delivered.
