I'm hoping some of my fellow Canadians can help out here.. I've often considered ordering Leica gear from eBayers located in Hong Kong, but am unfamiliar with the additional taxes/levies that might get added on to the final sale price by Canada Customs. Can someone shed some light on what I should expect?
Thanks!
Thanks!

There is no duty on cameras, lenses, or photographic equipment. However, there is GST on the declared value, as well as a handling fee. Check this out: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=89563&postcount=30
You can find tons of this information relatively easily at the Gov't of Canada website, too, if you want more precise details. Enjoy!

Thanks for the link, BJ! I wasn't sure how to search for such a "specialized" topic on the forums.
PS: I concur that UPS sucks. I bought a Domke bag from another RFF member a while ago that was shipped by UPS. They ended up adding something like $40 to the cost of the bag for "brokerage fees". :bang:
