Customs fees are generally in the range of 25-30% on new products. Again since the wheels were listed as used and only $1000, I was charged only a fraction on the cost. As you know Canadians are totally raped any time we buy something across the border and bring/ship in into Canada. I refuse to pay an additional 40% (Tax+Customs) based solely on what side of the border I live on. Phelan was a champ on this one, and helped to save me literally thousands of dollars. |
