hi
i would like to know if i will be charged duty/custom fees if i want to buy a notebook??i read in another forum that many canadians bought books , dvds..and so many stuff and never paid duty..i would like to know about electronics like camcorders/notebooks..please any help??!!
I have ordered lots of times from Amazon and never been charged duty. The return address on the package is in Canada, so they must have a warehouse they ship from here, so that it does not come across the border.
thnks for responding!Quote:

I'd put my bet on you would be paying taxes/duties.
If you are ordering from .com it should be coming from a US warehouse.
I don't chance it, anything .com I send to my US post office and bring it across the boarder myself.
I don't mean to be a jerk but it is Border not boarder. A boarder is a person.Quote:

No, you don't have to pay duty on electronics. You will be required to pay Canadian sales taxes, but you'd have to pay that if you purchased in Canada anyway so it's not really an extra fee. With smaller stuff (like an inexpensive point and shoot), you might even get lucky and not have to pay sales taxes.
thanks dilbrt
Wow that contributed a lot to this thread. And I don't proof read my posts, BIG DEAL. And you do seem like a jerk that has too much time one their hands!Quote:
