[QUOTE="jokerofdeath, post: 136344, member: 7001"] [b]Re: Discuss[/b] Farmer Colin, that is exactly what you would need to do. For most this is actually going to cost more money than the average brokerage fee. Especially for folks in Atlantic Canada as the import location for almost all goods destined for our neck of the woods is either Halifax by sea or Montreal by air or land. That is a lot of gas in the ole car to avoid the brokerage fee. And when you are there, you will still have to pay the taxes and duties if they apply. And if you broker the goods incorrectly as a private citizen and the the CBSA picks up on it, they can come and seize the goods in question. Professional brokerage firms just have to pay a fine and you get to keep your goods. [/QUOTE]
