[Elecraft] Import duties on amateur radio items

[Jean-François Ménard]

Duty free for amateur product in Canada ... YES. It is not because you  
bought something from Canada you will be duty free.... you finally  
IMPORT something on your side. So you are responsible of the  
restriction of your country.

I ordered a lot of amateur products from the US... and I only thing I  
pay is standard sale taxes... no other charges (duty)...

Canada Post charge me 5$ for handling..... even if it cost 5$ or 1000$.

Duty charges is not equal to taxes.... duty free is when you pay only  
taxes with no other fees.... like all ham radio product that come to  
Canada.... It is supposed to be the same for Canada to US.... If you  
use FEDEX or UPS.... they charge a lot only taking your box across the  
border..... :-((( I always use USPS or Canada Post.
