Re: customs cost for importing parts?

Depends on where you live, typicaly all you need to do is pay the 7% gst on the value of the item, depending on who is the shipper sometime brokerage fees apply (don't use UPS, fedex is best).

I got tired of the whole custom/brokerage so i get stuff shipped to the US border, go pick it up and declare it to customs myself... it's worth the 1 hour drive rather than the 30-60$ brokerage.

but small items are typicaly not too bad.
