Selling to Canadians

I've read about nightmares selling equipment to our neighbors north of the border and would like to have some guidance on how best to handle such a transaction. Is there an exchange rate issue? Also, what's the best way to ship (cables) -- and how are the duties handled? Is it a percentage of the sale price and, if so, do they go by the price new or the resale price? Thanks a lot for your help.

I've had no problems shipping to Canada, or Europe. You need to do it through the US Post Office. On the forms you have to fill out you have to declare the value, and the duty will be paid by the buyer when they receive it. It's a smooth transaction after you do it a couple of times, and there's only two or three forms. The postage will be more, I seem to remember about $30.00-$40.00 to send a cable Express Mail.
