Import to Canada from USA


Does anybody know if I must pay GST to ship USED audio gear into Canada? I called fedex and they had no clue, which was surprising to me, for some reason I thought that shipping stuff was the company's primary source of income. Now, I can't help but wonder, what are all those planes for. My second option was to give my "speaker" money to a lawyer to descipher the Canada Customs website...NO THANKS!!! So now I am here hoping one of you can shed some light on this subject. Thanks for any input.

It is better to use USPS service for the shipping of the item since UPS, Fedex will charge you expensive 'brokerage fee' + GST/PST ....it is like at least 30% of the declared value of the item.

Good Luck !
