UPS and FedEx both figure out their own brokerage fees they'll charge you, usually around $30 or so. And that doesnt count the GST/PST you'll have to pay on the item.
If they send it USPS (United States Postal Service, not UPS) then you should just have to pay whatever the tax is. That is, if the item is made in the USA.. if it's made in a non-NAFTA country, you'll have to pay ~18.5% duty on importing it to Canada.
And watch those ebay sellers shipping charges.. they can go over double the cost of the item easily. It's the hidden fees that'll make it 4-10x more than the item cost.
My advise is definitely check out the Canadian retailers before ordering from the USA. Maybe check out Cosmo Racing, they usually list stuff on ebay.. they might have decent prices on cheaper intakes on their website.
