Here's an example from today.
Item was $19 USD. Bought from US, Made in China Shipped by UPS.
cdn value was 21.39. had to pay 1.39 duty, 1.37 gst and 1.82 pst. Then I paid 1.03 gst on the OUTRAGEOUS brokerage fee of 17.10.
Total I had to pay was 22.71 for an Item that was $19 us. They also raped me for $23 usd shipping. So the $19 center caps cost me around $75 cdn. If they would have been willing to ship to the UPS store in Ogdensburg it would have cost $10 shipping and the taxes/duty. If they would have shipped by US mail the fee would have been around $5 plus taxes.
To top it off UPS won't give you the part until you pay.
