Canada duty/taxes

I've ordered the Seidio G2500! Does anyone know what the Canadian duty is on hardware from the USA (if any)? I know there is no duty on software (just sales tax).

I'm worried this is going to be one expensive car mount!

$75US G2500
$7US GPS charger cable
$10US shipping
--------------
$92US

This converts to $110 Cdn! Now add $15 tax, plus any duty!

BUT... this makes my Navigation system complete! Now all I need is a car!

The city bus drivers may not like me attaching my GPS to their windshield!

It may depend on who you bought it from and how it's shipped up here.

If it was bought from a store who have knowledgable international shippers, and if the product doesn't qualify for NAFTA treatment, then there could be duties involved. I highly doubt this will happen, though.

Chances are very high that you will just pay taxes and some sort of Canada Customs clearance fee. If it's coming up by postal service they generally charge CAN$5.00 to clear it. If it's coming up by UPS expect to pay CAN$30+ to those crooks...

Thanks. I bought it direct from Seidio on line (Houston, TX) and it's going Global Priority (I think that's US Mail?).
