Shipping Magnepans into canada. DUTY???

The reason I ask is I am considering some Magnepans and I thought I might try the MMG available from Magnepan. I think I would end up with the 12's or 1.6's but I thought I would start with the MMG with money back offer.

I called them and they said that they do ship to canada via UPS and there would be some sort of brokerage charge and tax, but will there be any sort of duty charged???

Has anyone done this? How much does it really end up costing in the end? Would I be better off to purhase a used pair from with Canada and then resell them if I am not happy?

Thanks
Nick

I agree with Rgd but also take into consideration that there is "Labour Unrest" between the custom workers and the Federal Gov't.Their contract talks have went sour and so
"work to rule" and rotating strikes are fairly common practises now.This is causing a hugh backlog of mail and packages.
Do your self a favour ,advertise on Canuckaudiomart, for some maggies.I have seen 1.6QR's and 3.6R for sale occasionally and at a very good price.
I know Advance Electronics ,in Winnipeg, sells maggies and I have been quoted good prices in the past especially on some demoed items.
When ever I buy from the US I always have the item send to a border store and I go across,have a few cool ones,and pick up my package.Works well for me.

Good Luck...
