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

Have you contacted any dealers in Canada for costs ,warranty,return policy etc?Magnepan would give you a list of Canadian dealers.
That would certainly be my first move.
I am a little confused as you state "if I am not happy".
Have you had a chance to hear them?
This is just me but I ceratinly would not go through all that trouble and expense if I didn't have a chance to heard the "Maggie" sound first.

As mentioned in a previous reply there has been a few maggies for sale in Canada on Canuckaudiomart.
Post a "Wanted" ad on CAM and see whats available.

The Canada Customs people are not a happy bunch, as contract talks are not going well.
