And I didn't get a phone call becaaaaaaaaause? :P
No real duty (depending on country of origin), but I paid 92 bucks in GST on about 600USD in parts from FS (my CAI and XCAL2). Stupid GST on stuff not even sold in Canada. I think I paid a whole 52 cents in duty. Or maybe there was a brokerage fee in there. Dunno. All I remember was the total I paid at the door was 93 bucks and change. Then I got mad and threw out the receipt. :P
Damn I hate the government some days. :angry:

I didn't want to separate you from your new toy. :P
I've got a message into the vendor to see if everything will fit properly. If some of the stuff doesn't fit, MBRP will get a call on Monday.

If the product is made in North America or Mexico........no duty.
If it's made outside of NA, typically 5% duty depending on the item.
It's the brokerage charges that kill you.
Try to have the part shipped USPS and the brokerage will be included in the shipping price. Then you just have to pay the taxes.

I was actually thinking about using Fedex. But if USPS is good, I might as well go with them.

That's United States Postal Service, NOT UPS.....just to clarify.
USPS will be much cheaper, even though it will take longer time. UPS, FEDEX, DHL...as stated, nasty surprises in brokerage fees.
