How Much Are Canadian Customs on US Made Imports

If the goods are manufactured in the USA, no duty.
You will have to pay GST and Provincial tax unless you live in Alberta where there is no sales tax.

But if the origin of the product is manufactured elsewhere then you will have to pay import duty. The duty percentage will vary according to origin of product and the type of product.

You can save money by acting as your own broker. It is very simple to do as long as you have the time.

I have found that the brokerage fee from UPS typically was the highest.

When I bought my turntable I had to pay import duty (French turntable).

PST / GST also paid on all shipping charges .Another Canadian tax grab....

Don't get me started..!!!

Alberta still has to pay GST but not PST.

If you ship via USPS there is no brokerage fee. DO NOT use FedEx or UPS if you can help it. I usually get my items shipped to a postal office in Washington and drive across from Vancouver to pick up the purchase.

Obviously, they are used items. I have only had to pay the sales tax (which is stupid, considering you don't have to pay sales tax on used items from Canada). No questions regarding the origin of the item and no duty thus far..

Incidently...sorry for hijacking the thread.... for Americans purchasers, does UPS and FedEX charge a brokerage fee on items sent from Canada? Any other special levies or charges?

Tobias is correct. I believe that you can import speaker drivers or spare parts from other countries (outside NAFTA) without import duty - however all finished products (like a speaker) get the 6% or sometimes higher "import duty" if not "manufactured" in NAFTA or a special status trading partner. (so technically you should pay import duty on a used US Brand player that says "Made in China" on it) Companies can get around some of these rules by manufacturing most everything overseas and then doing "final assembly" in the US.
