Is UPS running a racket or what?????

[Nubbie]

I do that sometimes. Most often they just let me through if the value isn't too high.

Any idea what the duty would be if the product was made in China but you ordered it from the US?

I can't seem to figure out the answer to that. Duty would have already been paid when it entered the US I would think but I could be wrong.

Because of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Canadians do not have to pay duty on most American and Mexican manufactured items. But be careful. Just because you buy an item from a U.S. store does not mean it was made in the United States. It's quite possible it was imported into the United States first and, if so, you may be charged duty when it comes into Canada. So check before you buy and if possible get something in writing from the e-store in case the Canada Customs people decide to be particular.


Hope this helps.
