If the product is made in the U.S. there's no duty. If it's made in another country besides the U.S. or Canada there will be a duty. Usually around 5%. Watch out for extra shipping charges if shipping straight to Canada. Places like UPS rape you on "brokerage" fees. What I do is have everything shipped to a mailbox in Blaine WA, which saves alot in shipping charges and it also saves alot of time. Then I just pick it up there and decide whether I want to declare it or not coming back If you do then tax and duty may apply, but you'll still save on shipping.

[edit] Whoops...too late. You're not in BC anyway so this wouldn't really work in your case[/edit]

Remember Free Trade? There is usually no duty, but they will charge $5.00 for handling (they have to make money somehow now that they can't charge duty). They will also charge GST based on Canadian price.
