****Importing Fee****

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone know the Price for (canadian) Importing Fee's? I heard it was GST & PST (14% i think it was) of the purchase. not 100% sure, just trying to figure out what my Taxes and Duty/importings fee's would be on $1500...im sure someone know's approx maybe? i Ordered rims from Cali, purchase was around $800, UPS delivered it i think, and the shipping import/boarder fee's werent that bad...not even $100 i dont think...If anyone can help, that'd be appreicated! Thanks guys..

just a thought....you might be able to find out on ups's or fedex's websites.....

Cant seem to find it there either, Im pretty sure its 14% of the purchase Price ($1344usd or $1500cdn)

dude its gonna be nasty, for my $160 for my bridg kit it was $60.00 to get it over the border, it goes by weight

I dont think so...cause i just purchased a Entertainment Unit for my TV and Stereo at Walmart, it was $135usd $146cdn, and it was only $20usd for duty and taxes/boarder fees etc, and its gotta weigh over 150lbs, its damn heavy...i had a hell of a time lifting it up the stairs and into the apt, and im a pretty strong guy....espically with Dead weight, and thats alot of it!

UPS can be tricky thou , might not charge much to get it delivered but waita few weeks till they send you a bill for customs. ass raping time

im getting it Delivered to the States and bring it across myself.

i just wanted to know how much approx tax/boarder fee's etc i'd be paying...

Google is your friend
this might help you

Well it Says Because of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Canadians do not have to pay duty on most American and Mexican manufactured items, But be careful. Just because you buy an item from a U.S. store does not mean it was made in the United States. It's quite possible it was imported into the United States first and, if so, you may be charged duty when it comes into Canada. So check before you buy and if possible get something in writing from the e-store in case the Canada Customs people decide to be particular. AND Just about everything individuals import into Canada is subject to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) of seven percent. The GST is calculated after customs duties have been applied.

You will also have to pay the applicable Canadian Provincial Sales Tax (PST) or Quebec Sales Tax (QST).

In Canadian provinces with a Harmonized Sales Tax (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador), you'll be charged a flat 15 percent, rather than separate GST and PST. Hmm, I guess i'll be paying GST & PST? Maybe...Depends if Some of this stuff was American manufactured items...
