Equipment Duty Border
Duties for purchasing something outside of Canada?
Hello. I ordered something online from a company in the united states, which was shipped to me in Canada. (Sporting equipment, just for me.) It cost about $800, and I was charged $200 in duties when it crossed the border. I'm pretty sure there was a mistake. Does anyone know where I can find out how much the duties for importing goods should be? And can I claim back the taxes that I paid to the United States?
The Canadian Border Services website can explain the process to you. You will have paid GST and probably PST on the purchase right off the bat. But if the goods were not made in the US, you would also pay duty, which varies widely depending on the item and the country of origin. That can easily reach double figures.
On top of all that, there is almost always a customs brokerage fee, which can often run $50-$75 or more, depending on the complexity of the filing.
By taxes to the US, do you mean sales taxes paid to the US seller? Online sellers are usually pretty good at following the requirements, so if they charged you tax, it would appear to be owed to their state government (there is no US federal sales tax). So no, you can't get it back.

** Paying duty/taxes at Canadian border
We will be taking a refrigerator made in the USA up to our vacation trailer in Canada. We are USA residents and have a vacation home up there. The old built in 'fridge that was original equipment in our trailer finally died so this would be a replacement.
Can anyone tell me about how much in taxes/duty we will pay to do this? Or maybe someone can suggest a website where I can find this infomation? I haven't had any luck yet finding the answer to this question and I just spoke with the Canadian Consulate office in Philadelphia who didn't seem to have a clear idea where to get this information, either...
We priced refrigerators in the local Canadian stores on our last trip in July and were astonished to see how much they want for a 4.4 cubic foot compact refrigerator. Even with taxes and duty being paid at the border, I think we can make out better.
Thanks very much in advance for the help!

Seasonal residents
If you are a non-resident of Canada and you acquire a residence in Canada for seasonal use or lease one for at least three years, you have a one-time entitlement to furnish the residence with certain goods, duty- and tax-free. This does not apply to a mobile or portable home, a time-share residence, a residence that you will share with a resident of Canada, or a residence that you will rent or lease to others in your absence.
Return to Top of Page
Allowed goods
As part of your seasonal resident entitlement, you can include items such as removable furniture, appliances, household effects and tools you use to maintain your seasonal residence. To take advantage of this opportunity, you have to meet all of the following conditions:
* the goods must be for your personal use only, not for commercial or business use;
* you must have owned, possessed and used the goods before you arrive to occupy the seasonal residence for the first time;
* you must declare all the goods in detail when you first arrive in Canada to occupy the seasonal residence. Even if the goods do not accompany you on your first arrival, you must identify them as "goods to follow"; and
* you cannot sell or dispose of the goods in Canada for at least one year after you import them.
Otherwise I would call Border Services direct: If you are calling from outside Canada, you can access BIS by calling 204-983-3500 or 506-636-5064 (long-distance charges will apply). If you call during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time, Monday to Friday, except holidays), you can speak directly to an agent by pressing "0" at any time.
(you are right...some things are CRAZY prices up here as compared to the USA...some things are the same though)
