[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 380465, member: 2193"] "I will be using Express so its free to me.. " Not entirely. There will be a COD fee ($4.25) as well as a charge for the money UPS will pay to CBSA to get the package into Canada. Since CBSA charges PST and/or GST, UPS pays it first on your behalf to get the package into Canada. Then UPS has to collect it from you in the form of a COD. There is a charge for UPS "fronting" the money on your behalf: a fee of 2.7 percent (minimum $5.85) of the amount advanced by UPS will be charged. I beleive that GST is a federal sales tax in force throughout most of Canada and levied at the rate of 7%. Most Canadian provinces also apply PST, Provincial Sales Tax to purchases levied at a rate of 7% to 10% depending on the province. In the provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia there is no GST or PST. Instead, HST (Harmonised Sales Tax) is levied at the rate of 15%.
