who orders parts from the states?

does anyone know how to calculate duty on a part?

im thinkin im gonna be ordering from a US company, and they cant mark it as "warrantee item" so im gonna have to pay the duty. how can i calculate how much its gonna cost me when it gets to my door?

thx

Typically take your USD price and multiply by 1.8. This should take care of currency exchange, shipping, and customs.

I bought my Revo Short shifter from Robear Racing (aka Tornactive) for 100 USD. With duty, conversion, taxes it came to $190 CND.

It all depends on how much the item is worth.

try and get em to ship via fedex ground, when I got my lights they made me pay the tax and brokerage two weeks later via mail. I aint paying them, they didnt even threaten to make a credit entry, they said "if this bill is not paid, the seller will be notified" if they come bug me i might pay it but im definatly not gonna do it without being forced :P

The best way to get an item shipped from the U.S. is through USPS. It'll take a couple of days longer but you probably won't get tagged with Duty, Brokerage and some other **** like that.

I had an item worth $300 US shipped to me through USPS and I only ended up paying and handling fee of $20cdn when it came to my door.

DO NOT USE UPS, REPEAT DO NOT USE UPS. They will chop your nuts off on taxes and brokerage fees if it's shipped ground. Bought a $20 motherboard, paid $20 in brokerage.
