[quote]QUOTE: The biggest shipping I ever had to do was a HO scale steam engine across the border into Canada. The customer probably had to pay DUTY and also Import taxes on the item as well. (15% I think but not real sure) on items across international borders. Sellers who refuse to mark shipments as gifts or for a lessor prices usually earn at least serious consideration of the item for bid. [/quote] We're not charged duty on hobby items coming into Canada, just the 15% tax, based upon the declared value. Our Post Office charges $5.00 to collect this tax. Anyone in Canada ordering items should know this. And the only real thing that a shipper has to do is stick on one of those little green stickers with the description and value. I've asked shippers in the past not to include the cost of shipping in the value on the sticker, because we'll be charged on it too. Bob Boudreau
