You think it's legal to not claim a purchase you made in the states while visiting, even if you have it installed there? Sure people try not claiming, but if you get caught they could fine you on top of making you pay the HST...that's assuming they don't confiscate it. Then you also get black listed so every time you cross back into the country they search all your possessions.

The unfair charge is the brokerage fee though. If you ship via UPS, you're pretty much always going to pay that. If it's USPS, most of the time there isn't one or it's minimal. There are some great ideas about setting up a postal mailbox close to the border which require you to pick it up. That will help you avoid those brokerage fees.

avoiding government taxes = inner monologue
avoiding brokerage fees = outer dialogue.
